Overview

To the right is an example of the front-end (live website) faculty template.



Page Sections

The image to the right outlines the different areas of the page.



WordPress Admin Bar

The WordPress Admin Bar appears along the top of every WordPress site allowing for quick access to editing.




USD Global Header

The USD Global Header is standard on all USD operated domains. The header should also act as a reminder to keep all content up to the level of USD standards as well as maintaining accessibility standards.




Banner

The banner is the large image running across all pages in the site.




Site Title and Tagline

The site title appears in the banner on every page with the site's tagline directly below it.




Menu

The menu is sometimes referred to as the top navigation, the top nav, or simply, the nav.

To learn how to modify the menu, see the lesson on How to Modify the Navigation.




Page Title

The title for each page displays here.




Body

This is the main content section of the page.




Right Side Panel

The side panel can include the contact panel and/or the quick links panel.

The side panel does not have to be used, as is the case with a full-width page layout.




Contact Panel

The contact panel is generally used much like the USD Directory.




The quick links panel is an option for displaying important links you may want for users to easily spot on your site.




Footers appear on the bottom of the page.
