Modularization Plan

This section explains modules and how they will help keep my page in uniform. This section will also explain my future plans of implenting them into other pages within my website.

What modules are:

Modules are separate files which help keep every single page in uniform. This is common code that you want displayed no matter where a visitor goes within the website. The nice thing about modules is if there is a change needed to be made in a specific section on the entire website throughout all of the pages, all you need to do is go to the one file used in for that section and add or take away the information as necessary.

How I have used them and future plans:

Throughout my site you will notice that certain sections of the page stay the same no matter which page you are on. This is one indication I have implemented modularizations. I plan on using more modularizations as I get further into constructing my site. For instance, there will be more menus that I will want to use in different pages. I will also want to include the same information on some of the pages but not all of them.

The modules on my site:

Header:

The following will be included in my header module:

• Site logo
• Name of website
• Possibly a tagline

Navigation:

The navigation module is for my links and will include the following right now:

• Home
• Assignments
• About Me

As I get further into developing my site I will eventually have a couple more links which will include:

• My Family
• Services

Footer:

The footer module will include the following information:

• A copyright symbol
• The year next to the copyright symbol
• The name of the person it's copyrighted to
• A link to the copyright terms
• A link to the Colophon page
• A link to a Site Map page
