The layout of the site is one of the most important decisions to make! Here are some thoughts on choosing the most appropriate layout for your site.
- Content Width: your site will be one of two widths; either it will be full width (popular and works well on mobiles) or it will be boxed width (traditional feel, business oriented). The full width allows the background to fill the full width of your computer screen from left to right. This gives a feeling of space.
- Home Page Header: most websites have some form of header design. This is oftem the first thing your visitors will see! Many templates have a header where you can put static images, videos, slideshows and more. You need to choose a header design which will match your business.
- Menu bar design: the menu bar impacts highly on how your visitors see your sites. The utility of the site is just as important as the looks, and your menu bar is the main area visitors will look to find out where to go next and what to read next.
