Summary

Step 9: Lay Out Topic-Level Pages That Follow Your Home Page

  • Use the same basic navigation throughout your site
    • Your front page should "teach" people how to navigate the rest of your site.
    • If you put the topics in the left column on your front page, put them on the left on your subsequent pages

  • Make sure you add "home" to your navigation, so people can return to your home page easily

  • Retain your "look and feel" through all levels
    • If you use color behind your topics on the front page, you might want to do the same on subsequent pages

Now, put it on the computer, fill in the content, and post it!
