The point of mark up structures is to create an easy template to work with and be easy to set out the tags
Generally websites have a structure like this
Header
this is usually at the top, this contains the title of the page and
logo, this is to let people know what the website is about and who own
it.
navigation
bar that goes across the page or down the side, it can also be part of
the header this lets people go to each page that is linked to the bar
Main content column which generally contains the main content of the page.
side bars that have content that is generally relative to the content on the page.
Footer it goes across the bottom of the page and has information like copyright, contact details, links on the site.
like this for example
This website can be broken into 6 different parts all which will be divided into there own section with the
tag
The
6 different sections are the header, navigation menu, main content, two
different sidebars and the footer, when we highlight each part of the
website we can see each part and the space it takes up
This example was sourced from http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML_structural_elements
This makes it simple to understand how many different sections you need for the website.
Our task to practice laying out mark up structures with the example website.
