Different Layouts for different needs

There are no rules for laying out a website. Instead, there are many options and you have to be sure to pick what works best for your site and your intended audience. You can position the menu to the top, the left, the right, the bottom, or even in the page - whatever floats your boat. Each of these approaches has different issues and virtues:

- The more or less de facto standard of a website layout calls for a header, a left hand menu, a content slot with a right hand extra slot of advertising or contextual navigation, and a footer.

- Many blog layouts break that convention by offering a header with a very short horizontal menu, a large content block, and a right hand menu, thus making the content of the page the center of attention and offering the other menu options as alternatives to explore further.

- A lof of e-commerce web sites (with Amazon taking the lead) use a tabbed menu, giving visitors the option to go directly where they intend to go while offering lists of products in the main slot with contextual second-level menus on the left and promotions on the right.

Creating a complex layout in HTML can be a tiring and annoying process, mainly due to browser inconsistencies and some misconceptions of what web design is. Once again, you can use a library or CSS solutions other developers created and tested for you.
