Page structure

The default page structure consists of four 'div' (boxes) in sequence, all contained in a wrap div (HTML opening and closing brackets shown []):

[div id="wrap"]
	[div id="header"][/div] (background image)
	[div id="content"]
Page content
	[/div]
	[div id="navigation"]
Navigation menu
	[/div]
	[div id="footer"]
Footer + optional visitor tracking script
	[/div]
[/div>]

Except for wrap, all the boxes are independent of the others and the stylesheet can be edited to re-dimension and position any box anywhere on the page. The wrap box provides additional overall control.

The with extras version contains two additional div boxes and consists of:

[div id="wrap"]
	[div id="header"][/div] (background image)
	[div id="content"]
Page content
	[/div]
	[div id="navigation"]
Navigation menu
	[/div]
	[div id="extra"]
Random snippets
	[/div]
	[div id="search"]
Search form
	[/div]
	[div id="footer"]
Footer + optional visitor tracking script
	[/div]
[/div>]

Default pages

The CMS includes a pre-built empty homepage ready to receive content, a contact page, a search results page, and a custom 404 page. Navigation buttons for the homepage and the contact page are already built into the navigation menu.

The search results page is called up only when a user submits a search.
