Routing in Nuxt is a bit different than something you would get with Vue CLI, because in Nuxt you don't actually define the routes, but the routes are generated for you automatically based on your pages folder structure, and that is what we are going to be doing in this episode.

Also we are going to start building our Vue and Nuxt site by creating a header which is going to be available through out of our site using the layout files.

In this episode we are going to start building our Nuxt site, and also take a look at the basic Nuxt routing.

Basic Routing

Nuxt is THE framework for Vue.js. It can be used for a lot of things, from creating desktop and mobile apps to universal and single page applications to progressive web apps. And we might see more of Nuxt on this channel doing one of those things. But the feature of Nuxt that is often forgotten is that it can be a great tool for creating static web sites. And this exactly what we are going to be taking a look at in this series. All of this is of course made possible through the power of Vue.

In this first episode of new mini series, we are going to take a look at what Nuxt.js is and how it can help us in creating statically generated websites.

Overview and Install

One viewer pointed out to me that I did "hard stuff" for October CMS, but I didn't do some of the basics. One of those basics is [Static Pages](http://octobercms.com/plugin/rainlab-pages) plugin for October CMS.

This plugin, at least in my opinion, would be used for allowing your users or clients to easily edit static pages of their web site, without the need to know HTML and other web technologies.

So as the name says this plugin is used for creating static pages, but it also has a great feature for creating menus that you can edit in your back-end and display them on your site. Something similar to what you would get with WordPress.

I'm going to cover creation of static pages and menus in this video tutorial.

In this video we are going to learn about static pages, and static menus feature that you get from the static pages plugin.

Static Pages and Menus

In this episode of making websites with October CMS I want you to get familiar with some of the basic concepts of this amazing CMS.

In this episode we are going to go through backend of October, create pages in backend and in our code editor. I'm going to explain how you can use partials, and content.

Then we are going to install a blog plugin and then I'm going to show you the power of October components, and how to create blog post list and a single blog post.

Also you will see how easy it is to install plugins and update October CMS.

Before we start delving into making a new website with October CMS I just want to take a few minutes to talk about some of the basic concepts that you will encounter when using October.
