Part I ✦ FrontPage Essentials
Figure 1-6: A Web site can be as simple as a single page.
If you created your new Web from the Empty Web template, you can click the New
Page button in the FrontPage toolbar to create a new page. The first page you cre-
ate will be your home page.
Adding pages to your Web site
You can add Web pages to your Web site in Navigation view by clicking the New
Page button in the toolbar. As you click the New Page button, new pages appear as
“child” pages of the home page.
If you click one of your child pages and then click the New Page button, the new
pages become child pages of child pages. You can construct many levels of Web
pages in this manner. Figure 1-7 shows a Web site with three levels of pages.
Web structure strategies
As you design your Web site structure, put yourself in the shoes of someone visiting
your Web site. One convention used by many Web site designers (and programmers
of all types) is to present visitors with between three and five options at each level
of the Web site. For example, you might welcome visitors to your site at your home
page, and present them with three options. Each of those options might have three,
four, or five suboptions.
