      ADDING A FAQ SECTION TO YOUR SITE

      An FAQ section on your website is useful for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it is an easy to locate area of your website that will provide users with a central location that may help them navigate through your site.

      Overview

      You can choose to have multiple FAQ pages that are grouped into separate categories, like "shipping FAQs" or "General FAQs", but it is much more common to have one centralized FAQ page. The reason behind this is that FAQ pages by their very nature are meant to make things easier for the user. Separating FAQs can be counter intuitive unless you have enough to warrant it.

      Steps

      To make an FAQ Topic:

      1. Go to the back end of your WSM
      2. Hover over Modules and select FAQ
      3. The Number of Topics column will tell you how many sub topics are inside of that category
      4. The Number of Articles column will tell you how many questions are on that page
      5. To create a new topic (question) simply click the ADD TOPIC button at the bottom right of the screen
      6. Each article you add within a topic will simply represent one question on that page
      7. Once you have clicked ADD TOPIC please refer to the table below to assist you in completing each field
