Site Design to the MAX

Chapter 10 was about keeping page elements consistent via snippets, library items, templates, and repeating regions. I think all of these elements and tools are important to keep in mind while designing the client site since we want to keep our designs consistent and cohesive across the pages that we're creating. Snippets are great because they store pieces of code in a library and allow you to just drag and drop them on the page. This is great because you don't have to waste time coding the same element over and over again when it appears in multiple places. Talk about saving time!

Library items are great too, since they link back to a master so you don't have to change each element individually. It's almost like CSS since you can just change the code once to affect all of its instances across the site. Templates will be handy for maintaining coherence and consistency across the difference pages. Since you can create pages from a pre-layed out setup. This means that the editable areas are already there and the structure is already set and ready to go! Repeating regions add a bit more flexibility to templates since they can adapt to the different information on different pages. This helps to shift the template to match what's going on within the individual pages.
