The master pages vary mainly in the way they present navigation menus.

• Short side menus are probably the best general-purpose choice, resulting in a menu on the lefthand side of the page, the size of which is determined by the number of menu items.
• Long side menus are similar, except that the background colour of the menu extends to the bottom of the page.
• Horizontal menus run across the top of the page. These work well for sites with a small number of pages.
• Pop-up menus are the most compact option, and look clever, but they actually require the user to click three times to change pages.

All these menus are also available with a pop-up menu at the bottom of the page. This is useful for sites with long pages, as the user can change pages without scrolling back to the top.

• The No menu option is for sites where navigation is uniquely by links in the text itself.
