# Overview

> Marzipan includes a lightweight CMS for building and managing content on Marzipan-hosted sites.

Marzipan includes a lightweight CMS for managing the content on Marzipan-hosted sites. You can build pages, publish posts, group content into collections, and manage the templates and files that power your site, all from your dashboard.

To open the CMS:

1. Log in to your Marzipan account
2. Find the **Content** section in the main navigation menu
3. Click **Pages**, **Posts**, **Collections** or **Media** to work on that part of your site

## How content is structured

The CMS is built from four pieces that work together.

| Area                                | What it holds                                                               |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [**Pages**](/cms/pages)             | Content pages built from templates, edited through sections and fields      |
| [**Posts**](/cms/posts)             | Blog-style articles with an excerpt, content, author and images             |
| [**Collections**](/cms/collections) | Ordered groupings of pages and posts, used to build navigation and listings |
| [**Website**](/cms/website)         | The templates and shared files that your pages are built from               |

Pages and posts hold the content. Collections organise that content into menus and listings. The Website area holds the building blocks: the templates a page is built from, and the files shared across your site.

## Headless CMS API

All of your content is also available over the **headless CMS API**, so you can pull pages, posts and collections into other front ends:

* `/v1/cms/pages`
* `/v1/cms/posts`
* `/v1/cms/collections`

See the [API reference](/api-reference/introduction) to get started.
