Navigation Within Your Website.
The biggest site starts with one page. After you get your first page, usually name index.html and called your Homepage, you will add another page.
How you let your visitor know about the other page(s) and allow them to visit the other pages can be done in several ways.
Most often, there will be a navigation bar across the Homepage under the Header and probably Navigation links down the left side of the homepage.
The navigation links will use the anchor tag (Lesson 3) to link to the other pages. You will probably want to allow the visitor to return to the homepage after visiting another page.
You can set the navigation up using
-
plain text hyperlinks -example: Return to Homepage
-
Buttons or Images linked to other pages- example...
-
Pre-designed navigation system - some simple ones are available for free download.

This link will take you to a page to download 14 styles of vertical navigation and Menu#7 is shown below as an example. Though, I must admit this one takes a little study to see what is required. You will probably see it easier by viewing what I have done on this page to get the 5 link menu to appear here.

You might want to see a color wheel to see how colors are described in html code.M
