Topic 1
Page Layout
When dealing with your layout for a site you tend to thing of the way to maximise the most optimal way to push your content within the screen and fill up with information for the viewer. Well if I told you that having a lot of information within a page is not the way to go about it. When setting up your site you should have a plan when it comes to how many coloumns or rows you want to split the informaiton up taking in to account the height and width of a pc screen relitive to something like your smartphone, your three coloumn layout on the pc will not really work when dealing with a phone screen. So making sure you have a way to have a muilt coloumn page and making changes so when your site is on something else than a pc, its goes into a single coloumn layout would be the most optimal way to deal with your content on screen.
Topic 2
Coloumn Layout
Coloumn layouts is the standard way to make a page, these are typical layout for news paper sites that have many articales that are needing to have a side bar when you looking at a main article showing, or when your on a site and ads are poping in on the side there when looking at anything that ad has a certiain coloumn within the code that is placed so that it will show up within the layout most will have it on the right coloumn seperate from the main coloumn with margin and padding. Margins and padding is the best way to structure a coloumn website, so one the content doesn't get out of the structure of the layout but also creates spacing between so that your content isn't butt to butt with other information on screen.
Topic 3
Multi Row Layout
A multi row layout is as face value as you can get when working with web design, most websites now will have this type of layout for their site because it allows you to have many interactables within a screen while now crowding your coloumn structure. This allows you to have navigation below or above your header, it allows you to place things like breakes between articles, or have a small segment of quick link that lead to important pages within your site, then it goes into your information. You can see an example of this on the svsu website you have quick links on the top then it goes to another row with the logo, to more quick links below, then video and guess what more links to things. Its an easy way to put quick information that can be in another page.
