Home Page
We use RLS as an example of a writer who is out of copyright. You'll find plenty of information on him at http://www.unibg.it/rls/rls.htm.
On this page, we've put his name in a curly, old-fashioned font to suit his books. We can use a different font for your name if you wish.
Page Layout
Each page of this standard design contains two rows each with two columns. On this page, RLS's portrait is in the
left hand top cell, the graphical navigation buttons are in the cell underneath, the main title is in the right
column top row, this text and the pirate picture are in the lower row of the right column.
The left and right hand columns will usually be the widths shown on this page but they can be altered if necessary. If you have a large screen you might be tempted to ask for the right hand column to be wider but you cannot be sure how big your user's screen is. If it is too small to fit the page (or if the viewing window is only part of the screen) the reader has to use the horizontal scroll bar to see the right hand part of the page. We normally design for screens widths of 800 pixels which means that almost all users will be able to see the whole page width without irritating scroll bars.
We've put the RLS portrait in the same position on each page to give a feeling of continuity to the site but you can tell us how you would like your pages to be arranged. Duplicated pictures only count as one of the six allowed.
You can also choose one of your pictures to be a more elaborate title. Your signature might work well if it is sufficently legible.
Pictures can be mixed with the flow of text, either bottom aligned like this 
,
middle aligned like this or top aligned like
this-OK for very small pictures, or they will be left or right aligned like the pirate. On a standard site, we can't
make text flow around pictures that are not at the side of a column. Centralised pictures, like the steam engine on
the poems page, are easy because they are not actually in the flow of text.
Navigation
Last but by no means least, we repeat the navigation links at the bottom of each page so visitors don't have to scroll
back to the top to find the buttons.
