CMS blocks and pages

Magento has a flexible theme system. Beyond Magento code customization, the admin can create blocks and content on the Magento admin panel, such as Home Page, About us, or any static page that you want to create. CMS pages and blocks on Magento give you the power to embed HTML code in your page.

You can create or edit pages and blocks by accessing the Admin area (http://localhost/packt/admin_packt) by navigating to Content | Pages.
