DETAILS: The Book Design

A site like a book

The Book Design is not your everyday website. Your visitors will remember you and probably add your website to their favorites. This design looks and feels like a magazine, showing your content on the left page and offering navigation to possible sub pages on the right.

Also the menu of this website is different from traditional navigation. The menu items are bookmarks placed on the different pages inside the book. Pretty much the same way as you would use stickies to mark important information in a book.

Subscription service

The Book Design offers a 'feed' link. This feed will produce a text file with all content from your website. Your visitors could use this feed inside a 'feed reader' which allows them to read your articles not only on your website, but also in other applications. This is called subscribing. The advantage is that he or she never misses a new article on your website.

Blog functionality
