Website and Blog Layouts

Below are graphics of the options available for website and blog layouts. Some are necessary and some are optional.

Website Layout

• Header
• Info Bar
• Main Panel Header
• Left sidebar
• Right Sidebar
• Main Panel
• Main Footer Panel
• Footer

Most websites have header and the "Header", "Info Bar" or "Main Panel Header" can all actually function as the header area depending on the layout you choose.

A sidebar is usual for most websites, except for sales or squeeze pages. You have the option of one, two or no sidebars

Most sites have a footer, the option is your and you can ever have a main panel footer.

As you can see, you can mix and match quite a bit depending on the look and layout you'd like.

Blog Layout

• Header
• Nav Bar
• Main Panel - where your posts will show up
• Sidebar Info Area - you can have an "about" or "subscribe" or more, not widget based
• Left Sidebar
• Right Sidebar
• Bottom Info Area
• Footer

Not a flexible as the website layout you do have some options available.  To see an actual blog that uses all the above areas, see my Pet Lovers Tips Blog.

You can have one or two sidebars which are widget based, a sidebar info area if you choose and a bottom info area if you choose.

For a website and companion blog, header, colors, footer, etc. will be matched as closely as possible to make the 'site' almost seamless.

You can see an example with my Pet Lovers Tips Website and Blog. Both site will also link back and forth with each other.
