## 📁 File Structure

backend/
  routes/
    admin.js          # Admin API routes (updated)
    public.js         # Public API routes (updated)

website/
  admin/
    pages.html        # Admin interface (updated with Quill)
    js/
      pages.js        # Admin JavaScript (updated with Quill)
  public/
    page.html         # Frontend page renderer (new)
    test-custom-pages.html  # Testing interface (new)
```

## 🔒 Security

- Admin routes require authentication (`requireAuth` middleware)
- Public routes only show published pages (`isactive = true`)
- Content is sanitized on output
- CSRF protection via session
- XSS protection via content escaping

## 🗄️ Existing Pages

The database currently has 3 pages:

1. **About Us** (slug: `about`)
2. **Contact** (slug: `contact`)
3. **Privacy Policy** (slug: `privacy`)

All are published and accessible via `/page.html?slug=SLUG`

## 🔗 Integration with Site Navigation

Custom pages can be added to the site navigation by:

1. Creating the page in admin panel
2. Adding a link to the main navigation in your templates
3. Using format: `/page.html?slug=YOUR-SLUG`

Example navigation link:

```html
<li class="nav-item">
  <a href="/page.html?slug=about" class="nav-link">About</a>
</li>
```

## 🚀 Next Steps (Optional Enhancements)

1. **Auto Navigation**: Automatically add published pages to site menu
2. **Page Templates**: Different layouts for different page types
3. **Media Integration**: Link with media library for image picker
4. **Revisions**: Page version history
5. **Categories/Tags**: Organize pages by category
6. **SEO Preview**: Show how page appears in search results
7. **Permalink Management**: Handle slug changes with redirects
