Panel elements add structure to your pages. You can think of both pages and panels as “containers” for the page elements that you add to them. - **[Edit and Work with Site.com Page Elements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_objects_working_with.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The Page Structure pane displays the hierarchy of all elements on the page and is a very useful way of selecting, moving, and reordering elements, particularly for more complicated page designs. - **[Lay Out Site.com Pages Using Panels](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_panel_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** A panel is a useful layout tool that defines the logical divisions of your page and lets you group page elements together for easy movement and positioning. Think of it as a container for other page elements, including other panels, or as a `div` that wraps around the content placed within it. Panels are ideal for adding editable areas to page templates. - **[Position Panels Using CSS](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_panel_position.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** A panel is a useful layout tool that defines the logical divisions of your page. Using CSS, you can position panels and improve the layout of the page. - **[Add Images Directly to the Page](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_image.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** As a site administrator, you can add images directly to your site pages and page templates or you can add images to content blocks. - **[Add Content Blocks to Pages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Content blocks contain the text of your website pages, and can also house images, videos, and hyperlinks. Designers and site administrators can add content blocks to pages when in Design Mode. - **[Add Custom Code to Pages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_code_custom.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Custom code lets you customize your site using markup, such as HTML and JavaScript. - **[About the Site Map and Page Hierarchy](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_menu_sitemap.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The Site Pages view on the Overview tab contains the pages and site map links of your website. The Site Map folder reflects the hierarchy or tree structure of your site by housing site pages and links that are included in the site map. When you create pages or site map links, they're automatically added to this folder. The Landing Pages folder houses standalone pages that are excluded from the site map, making it ideal for temporary pages, such as promotional or competition pages. - **[Adding Custom HTML Attributes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_html5_attributes.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** You can add custom HTML attributes to pages and page elements, which are rendered on the HTML tag of the page element. For example, this is useful when working with third-party frameworks that render page elements differently based on certain attributes. - **[Changing a Page Element's HTML Tag](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_html5_render.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** By default, panels, data repeaters, data elements, custom code, and content blocks are each defined as a `div`, but you can change this to any other HTML tag using the HTML Tag property. This gives you greater flexibility and control over how the page element is displayed on the page. - **[HTML5 Semantic Page-Layout Tags](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_html5_sematic.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** HTML5 defines several semantic page-layout tags that describe the content they contain. These tags make it easier for search engines and screen readers to read and organize your content. #### See Also - [Add Site.com Page Elements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_objects_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Page elements are the building blocks of your site pages and page templates.
