When you use Silex the page creation is based on an icon system.

Generalities

To create a new page, you must declare a clickable component as an icon on the start page.

For example, from your home page you want to access a service page and a contact page. To do so, you will add 2 clickable components on your home page (see the list further) ; you will declare them as icon by checking the “icon” box and you will enter the page’s name they will open.
