Core concepts
The building blocks of Acrosite: Workspace, Workspace Username, Client, Project, Posts, Pages, Custom Content Types, Custom Fields, Content Items, Team Members, and Client Reviewers.
Acrosite has a small set of building blocks. Once you know these terms, the rest of the documentation will make sense quickly. This page is a reference you can return to.
Workspace
A workspace is the top-level home for everything you do in Acrosite: your clients, projects, content, team, billing, and settings. Most customers have one workspace; agencies may create additional workspaces to separate brands or business units.
Workspace Username
Each workspace has a Workspace Username — a short, unique handle used in your in-app URLs (for example, acrosite.com/app/your-handle/...). It uses lowercase letters and numbers, starts with a letter, and is 3–30 characters long. You can change it later, with a short cooldown between changes.
Client
A Client is an optional record that represents one of your customers or brands. Agencies use Clients to group related projects. A project can be linked to a Client or left unassigned — Clients are an organizational convenience, not a requirement.
Project
A project represents a single website. It holds that site's content, its GitHub connection, and its deployment trigger. Each project connects to exactly one GitHub repository. To publish to more than one site, create one project per site.
Posts
Posts are recurring, dated content — blog articles, news, updates, changelog entries. Posts is a built-in content type in every project.
Pages
Pages are standalone content — an About page, a Pricing page, a landing page. Pages is the other built-in content type.
Custom Content Types
Custom Content Types are content structures you define yourself, beyond Posts and Pages — for example Case Studies, Team Members, or Help Articles. Each Custom Content Type gets its own folder in your repository and its own set of fields.
Custom Fields
Custom Fields are the structured fields on a content type — text, long text, number, boolean, date, URL, email, select, multi-select, and image. Custom Fields make sure every item of a type captures the same details consistently.
Content Item
A content item is a single piece of content — one Post, one Page, or one item of a Custom Content Type. Each content item has a title, a slug, a body, optional SEO details, and a status that tracks where it is in the workflow.
Team Members
Team Members are people in your workspace who help create and manage content. Each Team Member has a role — such as Owner, Admin, Manager, Developer, Editor, or Author — that controls what they can do. See Invite a Team Member.
Client Reviewers
Client Reviewers are review-only stakeholders — usually your clients — invited to approve content for a specific project. They can comment, approve, and request changes from a dedicated client portal, but they have no workspace, GitHub, or billing access. See Invite a Client Reviewer.
