Site Layout

This site is setup to give you more information on how the images and content are laid out. The structure will be consistent, where you have the following:

• top menu,
• the slideshow,
• the main content,
• the right module, and
• bottom section

The main content, side module and bottom section are areas we can insert additional content.

When you go to the other pages, we only have Quicklinks and Connection Central.

Right now the link for the slideshow is setup to take you to this instructional page.

For images you want to display in the slideshow area, please make sure they meet the minimum requirements for the dimensions. It is better to crop images down because it does not loose its quality. If an image does not meet the required dimensions and we stretch it out to fit in the area, it will be degraded. Same concept applies to the other image placements within the content areas.

The main content and right module can have sections inserted. There are sample insert sections on the homepage that explains how you can use these section for additional information you want to display.

Bottom Section

The same process applies to this section as well. There are sample inserts for this which
