Preface

Pages


The vast majority of websites are made up of at least two pages, which are linked together. Again, in most of these websites there will be shared or consistent attributes across the pages that make up the site. As we saw in the previous chapter, Muse lets us easily create a site structure where we can organize and maintain our pages.

When creating our websites, it's a good practice to follow a style or standard format throughout all the pages in the site. While the content, which is the information you provide, will change from page to page, some elements such as the logo or navigation bar will remain the same, having the same size and position on the pages.

In this chapter, we'll continue building using the site structure we set up for the Windsurfing site and make changes to the master page, so that those design elements will appear on each page of our site. The following screenshot shows the sitemap as seen in the Muse's Plan view:
