display all glossary topics  |
 

Home Page

Category:  website

The home page is meant to introduce viewers to your site.

In larger sites, such as the Silver package and above, this page will contain minimal information about the site content but will reflect the content of the site to entice the person browsing the site to continue to other pages.

Smaller sites, such as the Bronze package, will have the majority of the site content on the home page.

 

Information Page

Category:  website

The information page contains detailed information about the purpose of the site, for example this may be information about a charity, a company or a person.

Smaller sites may do without an information page and instead have this information on the home page.

The primary reason for putting this information on a separate page is to not overwhelm the site visitor with information on the home page. The information page is there to be a source of information if the visitor wishes to read more about the site.

 

News Page

Category:  website

The news page is a list of news items, sorted into date order. This allows the visitor to keep up to date with developments to do with the site. Usually our news pages come with an Administration section.

Another useful function of the news page is to let the visitor see that the site is currently active and has been updated recently.

 

Discussion Forum

Category:  website

A discussion forum allows the site viewers to interact with each other and the site owners and administrators. Users can post messages such as questions, stories, information, etc. With a forum your site can become an online community drawing users back to your site.

 

Gallery Page
