What is a website layout?
Website layout is basically how your navigation, header, footers, pictures, content
etc. are arranged on the webpage.
It is vitally important that your site has a good layout that is pleasing
to the eye. There is an old age saying that goes like this: " First
impressions last". So if your visitors are not impressed with your presentation, simply their
visit won't last.
Websites are judged by a couple of things: E.g.
- Layout
- Content
- Navigation
