Today you will be sketching out the tables and cells for your own home or 'index' page that will be the first page that users will see when they get to your website.
What will your index page look like?
What colors will you use?
Where will your navigation area be on your website?
How about your site map and search engine?
Where will your images go?
Can you visualize how the pages will be connected and how a visitor will get from one to another? It can be useful to imagine the homepage as the doorway to your website with each link to another page as a hallway to other pages (or rooms). Will your site be more like a long series of "hallways" or will you always be able to move to any "room" from any other "room" at any time?
For most websites, it makes sense to split pages up into different categories headed by a major page for each category that allows you to go from any one page to another at any give time — by putting a main navigation bar or menu at the top (or side) of the web page.
Look online and start to take notice where other sites put all of these elements.
Once you've completed sketching your storyboard, open up Dreamweaver and begin to create your table for your homepage.
Split and Merge the cells to create an area for each element of your webpage.
