As it is built with modern coding standards using PHP 7, the integration with the PHP programming language is seamless.

In this article, we will primarily talk about the Page Module which is built-in to the AsgardCMS. The Page Module can be used for the following purposes:

• Viewing already created pages
• Adding new pages
• Adding additional custom fields apart from the default one in the new pages/ existing pages.

Now, let’s discuss all these functions in detail:

1. Viewing already created pages:

There is one default page present in AsgardCMS before we create any new page and that page is known as the homepage. The default look of the website looks like this:
