Plan Your Webite


Take a moment to plan what you will publish or display on your website...



A simple way to brainstorm your website is to create an "organizational chart" or to "story board" your website as in the figure below... Each of the rectangles represents one web page. Pages such as "Event Results" which point to other pages are easily created using the Menu List page type (you could also use the Document or Spreadsheet page types for this). Each of the  smaller rectangles below the "Event Results" page represent a web page with results for one event (for which you can import a View or Report from your golf software). Some may find it helpful to organize using "book" concepts.


Generally, the first level (Home page) and the second level (Event Results, League Members, Event Photos, etc.) will have Menu Item links on your Navigation Menu. The third level pages will not necessarily appear on your Navigation Menu, but will be linked to from one of the second-level pages.


Try to foresee what page elements each of your pages might contain. Doing this will help you decide which blank page type to use for specific pages. For instance, if you think you might have photos on a page, you would want to choose the Document or Spreadsheet page types.
