Functions of our pages
LTS web pages are built and laid out in particular set ways, depending on their function within a site. This consistency is so that our website pages are recognised as belonging to LTS, and easily developed by our content, design and technical teams. The following page functions are the most commonly used.
Home page
The home page of most websites on the LTS Online Service looks like this:
Page with subsections
If you are making a section which has subsections, your main page will have links to the subsections and also a feature box which highlights one part of the section.
In this example, the section is 'Sharing Practice' and its subsections are picked out as links on the page.
Page with summaries and photos
When you get further into the section, you can then make a page with short summary paragraphs and photos of what you're linking to.
In this example, we are looking at the subsection 'Care of very young children'. The links are to case studies which could be situated anywhere across the LTS websites. The photos give an indication of what's in each case study.
News pages
News pages on the LTS websites look like this. The links on a news page lead to separate pages, each containing one news item.
Professional development pages
Pages which list events for professional development look like this. The links on a professional development page lead to separate pages, each containing details of one event.
Single pages
If you're just making a single page, you have more freedom to design it as you wish.
There should be a main heading to denote the name of the page (in this case 'Drama'), then further headings and subheadings. Here there are also two photos to add interest to the page, and the right-hand column has been used to store key documents.
