1. Select a page layout

• One column: This template provides a header, content area, and footer. This layout is only recommended for wide-format information, such as table, charts, and large images.
• Two columns: Along with the header, content area, and footer, this template adds a left-hand column for essential navigation and unit contact information. This is the recommended layout for most sites because it provides consistent navigation.
• Three columns: Along with the header, content area, footer, and left-hand column, this template adds a third column on the right side for content-specific information. This layout complements the two-column layout.

2. Store left navigation in a separate file

• This allows your links for the left navigation to be stored in one place and show up exactly the same on each webpage in your site. For details, see Left sidebar navigation.
• Store left navigation in a separate file
• Leave left navigation in template

3. Add optional tabs

• Tabs can be added at the top of the main content as the navigation categories for your site. If you select tab navigation, it will automatically be added using a separate file so the tab information can be stored in one location, but show up exactly the same on each webpage in your site. See Tab navigation for when and how to use tabs.
• No navigation tabs
• Add tab navigation

This name is displayed in the purple header at the top of your page.

Unit's web directory (example" "cns")
