Optimized for SEO and Accessibility

Main content area (primary) comes before sidebars, just below the header. This maximizes content for search engines. Skip-to links are also provided, maximizing accessibility.

Available Regions

In order of HTML/source code output:

  • Header
  • Preface: First, Middle and Last
  • Primary: Pre-Title & Post-Title, Primary (content)
  • Secondary: First, Middle and Last This is the first sidebar area.
  • Tertiary: First, Middle and Last. This is the second sidebar area.
  • Postscript: First, Middle and Last
  • Navigation
  • Footer
  • Closure

The main layout regions of primary, secondary and tertiary are semantically named because this represents their order in the source, and because of our layout options the secondary or tertiary sidebars could be both be on the left or right depending on your layout settings.
