Getting Started

Managing Sites - ContentMK Docs

Add, configure, and organize your website workspaces.

Every website you manage in ContentMK is a separate workspace with its own articles, settings, modules, and sync configuration. There is no limit to the number of sites you can add.

Adding a Site

To add a new site, click the “Add Site” button in the sidebar. You’ll need to provide:

  • Name — A display name for the site (e.g., “Tech Reviews Blog”)
  • URL — The website’s address
  • Color — A color used to visually identify this site throughout the interface

Site Colors

Each site has an assigned color that appears in the sidebar, dashboard cards, and article views. This makes it easy to distinguish between sites at a glance, especially when managing many sites in the All Sites overview.

Per-Site Dashboard

Each site has its own dashboard showing:

  • Article count and status breakdown (Published, Draft, Needs Review, Out of Date)
  • Sync status and last sync time (if WordPress is connected)
  • Recent activity log
  • Health score distribution
  • Content type breakdown (if the Article Types module is active)

Configuring Freshness Thresholds

Freshness thresholds control when articles automatically transition to “Needs Review” or “Out of Date” status. These are configured per site in Settings because different sites have different content lifecycles.

For example:

  • A news site might flag articles after 1 month as needing review and 3 months as out of date
  • An evergreen resource site might use 6-month and 12-month thresholds

These thresholds directly affect the freshness component of the health score, which carries at least 50% weight in the overall score calculation.

Module Activation

Modules are activated per site. Navigate to a site’s Settings page to toggle which modules are active. This means you can enable WordPress Tag Manager on your WordPress sites while keeping it disabled for non-WordPress sites.

Deactivating a module hides its UI but preserves all data. Re-activating restores access instantly — nothing is deleted.

All Sites Overview

The All Sites overview in the sidebar provides a cross-site perspective:

  • Total articles across all sites
  • Sites with the most stale content
  • Recent activity across all workspaces
  • Global backup status

This view is useful for agency users or anyone managing multiple properties who needs a quick summary before drilling into individual sites.
