Pages are defined by its Page Template:

Depending on this Template choice the layout and the functions of the page will be defined. The second thing that influences the page are the page options that may vary depending on which Template you choose:

Certain special Page Templates like Portfolio, Gallery, Videocase will be explained later.

Blog

Blog Overview Page

First of all you have to create a page with page template "Blog" and choose the specific layout of the blog overview (please note that if you choose to have a sidebar only the "full" view will be displayed:

Blog Posts

Blog posts can be used as usual but one exception. On the right side there is a special box to choose the post type. Depending on what you choose other option could appear:

Portfolios

Create New Portfolio

A new Portfolio can be added via the theme options. This is the place where you connect the Portfolio with the created Page.

Portfolio Items

After creating a portfolio you will find new Menus in the WP main menu. Use it to create new portfolio items and categories within this portfolio:

After creating a portfolio item you can make it of one of the following types. After clicking one type new options may show up.

Do not forget to set a "Featured Image" so the Portfolio item will be displayed nicely in the overview page:

 

 

Videocase

The Videos and the Categories can be found in the Menu item "Videos".

In the Video post you have to fill the title, featured image and content which will be the video details on the Videocase page and the Video embed data. This is basically the Video ID of Youtube/Vimeo(or path to HTML5 video m4v) and the size of the basic video (the theme calculates the perfect size from this basic values).

Now you only have to create a page with the page template "Videocase" and choose the categories of Videos to display.

Contact

If you choose the page template "Contact" you create a page with a google map on top. If you need no google map on top just choose a "Content" page template and skip the Gmap part here.

Addionally you will find a new page option:
