Getting Started

This page helps you build a mental model of the order of operations in AllinCMS. You don't need to prepare everything at once — get the site working with a little real content first, then keep adding.

Do these 5 steps first​

Step 1: Log in to the admin​

Sign-in URL:

https://workspace.laicms.com/sign-in

Once in the workspace, the left side shows these main entries:

  • Sites: create and open each website.
  • Dashboard: check the status of sites, domains, forms, media, and more.
  • Account: change your login account and password.
  • Language button (top right): switch the admin between Chinese and English.

AllinCMS workspace dashboard - the left side highlights the Sites and Account entries, with a language switcher top right, used to help new users locate the main admin features

Step 2: Build the site skeleton first​

Don't upload a large batch of products at the start. The recommended order:

  1. Add your main product categories.
  2. Upload 2 representative products per category.
  3. Add 2 to 3 basic articles.
  4. Create or edit your core pages.
  5. Connect a domain, go live, then fill in more content over time.

The benefit: you spot navigation, link, page-display, and DNS problems faster, instead of getting bogged down by a pile of content.

Step 3: Read the docs by task​

Key concepts​

Slug is the English identifier in a URL. For example, the category "Wireless Earphones" can be wireless-earphones. A clear slug is easier for users to understand and for search engines to read.

Route is like a page's "street number." For example, /oem is a page address; a page must be bound to that route before it opens on the front end.

Publish saves your editor changes to the live front end. After editing in the admin, click publish, then check the front end for real.

Next step​

If you haven't created a site yet, continue with Create a Site. If the site already exists, start adding basic content from Product Categories.
