Use different design layouts for different types of pages.

You can use the design of a page to help the reader know what to expect from its contents. For example, overviews, conclusions, background material and opinion can all have different layouts. By consistently using the layouts for the same type of contents the reader is given a better sense of place.

Here are some different page layouts for different types of uses. Use the "Next" link on each page to move between them, and the "Up" link to get back here. Each one has a description in it:

Overview Page
Detail Page
Action Item Page
