A website\u2019s pattern and structure are the very first things we think about in the earliest stages of our design process. After identifying the goals of our site and the elements it should include, page layout design effectively begins the first stage of putting ideas on paper.\u00a0<\/p><p>It is only once you decide upon the anatomy of your website and how to map out your content accordingly, that you can then <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wireframe-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">build lo-fi wireframes<\/a> and explore what works best for what you\u2019re looking to achieve.\u00a0<\/p><p>Is it a heavily-visual homepage that will work best for your content strategy, in the form of a full-screen media layout? Or does it make more sense to distribute the information hierarchy in a more even format, using a split-screen layout to display several sections of content with mutual significance?\u00a0<\/p><p>This is exactly what we\u2019re about to explore, by looking at our nine hand-picked examples of the website layout designs most frequently used by professional designers.\u00a0<\/p><p>Evaluating these examples will help us understand the role each layout-type serves in building website content that actualizes our design goals. Ultimately, knowing when and how to leverage the right layout for our sites \u2014 will equip and empower us to build more robust design strategies and craft websites that are even more beautiful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba6ec04 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ba6ec04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-gac=\"CTA_Elements\" data-gaa=\"Link\" data-gal=\"Position_Text_CTA\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/grid-design\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Use a Website Grid to Build Your Page Layout<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-468b6b6 blog-toc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"468b6b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Table of Contents<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3dfe8f blog-toc elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"a3dfe8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#what-is-website-layout\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">What Is a Website Layout?<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#recap\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">What Every Website Layout Must Include\u200b<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#nine-layouts\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">The 9 Most Effective Website Layouts<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#single-column\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">1.

This layout-type refers to webpages (very often the homepage) whose hero section is a large full-width box (often, but not always, a full-width image or video), followed by smaller boxes directly underneath. Ideally, the number of these small boxes should range from at least two, to no more than five.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsxbroadway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TSX Broadway<\/a> is an outdoor stage in the middle of Times Square, which includes an 18,000-square-foot podium and an outdoor terrace \u2014 where live streaming, broadcasting, performances, and the liking take place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TSX\u2019s site uses the boxes layout to create a visual representation of the experience you get when standing at their venue, seeing the scenic, bird\u2019s-eye view of Times Square. Once you take that all in, you proceed down the homepage to the various columns and squares, each element guiding the website visitor to the concrete details and explanations needed to understand what the TSX experience is all about.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b617c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b617c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When To Use\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f7ddc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f7ddc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>Pages with several media-types of multiple sizes.<\/li>\n<li>Provide a visual, wide-lens perspective.<\/li>\n<li>Responsive visual layouts.<\/li>\n<li>Evergreen website layouts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2daa2be elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"2daa2be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"ready-set-build\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5cdc40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5cdc40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ready, Set, Build\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9bdaa6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9bdaa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The value of understanding the rich variety of website layout options and how to incorporate this knowledge into your web design processes is absolutely priceless.
