Page Layout Page layout is the visual context and method by which you convey your content.
Text formatting, graphics, white space, and navigation are all component parts of page layout.
To a certain extent, graphics are essential to conveying information on the Web. An average text only page provides no visual clues about it's content. Someone who doesn't speak German, for instance, would not understand anything about the information that is conveyed here without using a translator. Another aspect of this page that adds to its unfriendliness is the lack of visual structure and lack of width limitation of the text lines. Trying to read a line that's more than 400 to 500 pixels wide can be difficult on the reader.
