It is bestowed with advanced features that makes it convenient to create, edit, and upload content on the website. This helps in empowering the digital presence. Owing to this fact, more and more enterprises are choosing <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/sitefinity-development\/\">Sitefinity development<\/a><\/span> for their websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you are using Sitefinity for the first time, then we\u2019ve shared some useful tips to make your experience as smooth as possible. By implementing them, the best results are assured, so let\u2019s take a quick look at them:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activation_of_Automatic_Sitemap_Generation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Activation of Automatic Sitemap Generation<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sitemaps play a crucial role in the search engine optimization. This allows the search engines to crawl the web pages faster resulting in higher indexing. Within the admin menu in the tool section, you will find Sitemap. You can set the frequency of sitemap generation from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_Custom_Backend_Templates\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Avoiding Custom Backend Templates<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Although, Sitefinity allows the addition of pages to the backend admin, but it would not be an effective option to build a custom admin template with these pages as it can break with upgrades. The best you can do is to avoid using them for safeguarding the integrity of widgets.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 40px auto; border: 2px solid #065beb; padding: 20px 25px; border-radius: 6px; background: 0;\">\n<div style=\"display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; width: 62%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Are You Looking to Hire Dedicated Sitefinity Developers?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; width: 36%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a style=\"padding: 10px 22px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.3em; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: middle; cursor: pointer; color: #ffffff; background-color: #065beb; -moz-border-radius: 3px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px; display: block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact us today!<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Usage_of_Multisite_for_Managing_Multiple_Sites\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Usage of Multisite for Managing Multiple Sites<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With single Sitefinity CMS instance, you can efficiently manage multiple sites. Its multisite feature allows content sharing between several sites, and enable\/disable various modules between sites. This will save both the time and efforts of the users to a great extent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_Photos_Using_Sitefinity_Only\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Edit Photos Using Sitefinity Only<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sitefinity allows editing of images in the backend. Once you upload any image to the library, you need to visit the image properties section where you can easily edit, crop, resize, or rotate the image. This eliminates the need to use the third-party photo editing app.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 16px #cccccc; padding: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"\/blog\/sitefinity-14-0-whats-new-you-can-expect-from-it\">Sitefinity 14.0: What\u2019s new you can expect from it?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_URL_Duplication\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Avoid URL Duplication<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When you create or edit any page in the Sitefinity, you may see the error \u201cURL already exists\u201d while saving the page.
