With a plan in mind, you are ready to address the issues of page layout and structure. Good layout not only establishes the consistency of your site, it provides an element of familiarity that will aid your visitors in understanding your message and finding their way around.
Lets take a look at some important layout and structural concepts.
Perhaps one of the most controversial of issues, the use of frames in site design will find ardent supporters and detractors. Like any other element of the design process, you must first determine if using frames adds value to your site or takes away from it in some way. If properly designed, frames add an additional level of organization and structure to your web pages. If you use a large or graphically enhanced menu, frames will decrease the need to repeatedly load the menu with each page selection. To a degree, frames also allow you to guide your visitors along in certain directions when browsing your site.
