The designer works with you to design an effective look for your site that includes four common elements.
The elements can be combined in any number of ways but the four layouts shown below are the most common and accommodate more than 90% of the informational sites on the Internet. The designer will determine a layout, colour palette, standard fonts, and how the navigation will look and act on your site. The designer will use a variety of images, text, and style sheets to meet your needs. If required, your site can even use different layouts and branding for different sections within your site.
Once you have approved the design, it can be integrated with SiteCM Web Content Management System. The content that you create in SiteCM for the Content Area uses the standard fonts and colours specified by the designer, and the Navigation is constructed from the way you set up the pages in the content management system.
This is probably the most common layout template used on the Internet and with SiteCM. Navigation in the left margin provides lots of room for your content to grow.
By carrying the footer around to make a right side margin, you can include site wide messages. Designers can also combine this method with horizontal navigation and with embedded pages.
Horizontal navigation creates a limit for the size of your top level items. Users need to be educated to prevent them from adding too many items or keystrokes to their top level navigation items.
This combines horizontal and vertical navigation and is very useful for sites with a lot of information to deliver and deep navigation
