In this chapter, you added information pages to your website. Your website is now structurally complete. You have all the necessary web pages in place. To recap:
- Information pages on your website provide answers to questions that visitors may have about your products and services.
- There is no standard way of arranging information pages on a website. Their structure and hierarchy depends on the specifics of your business. However, there's a more-or-less standard methodology that you can follow to come up with the structure and hierarchy of information pages for any website.
- Creating information pages with Office Live Small Business's tools is easy. You create them in the same way that you'd create any other web page: from a template.
- Office Live Small Business has a two-level navigation hierarchy. The section pages go at the top level and the topic pages go at the second level. The topic pages hold the meat of your site's content. The section pages help a visitor to arrive at the right topic page.
Your website now has all the text it needs. In the next chapter, you'll make your pages friendlier, prettier, and more useful by adding elements such as links, pictures, and tables.
