As the content of the site is framed inside the template structure it should be carefully planned.

When using a third-party package for the Web site the structure is already largely determined but needs to be understood by the VWcms administrator so that it can be appropriately adapted to the VWcms components.

The Vdub site template has a simple, five panel structure which should be obvious in the on-line page.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                          header (title)                               |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------+-----+
|            |                                                    |     |
|            |                                                    |     |
|            |                                                    |  r  |
|    left    |                      content                       |  i  |
|            |                                                    |  g  |
|            |                                                    |  h  |
|            |                                                    |  t  |
|            +----------------------------------------------------+     |
|            |                       footer                       |     |
|            +----------------------------------------------------+     |
|            |                                                    |     |
+------------+                                                    +-----+

Each of these has an associated style in the site-specific sheet.

Of course the above is just an example of one way (admitedly a common one) a site layout might be organised.  Using substitution directives the (X)HTML infrastructure can provide just about anything around the various VWcms components.
