Build a Club Website 6: More, More, More

What about the "Coming Soon ..." page?

This is the second most important page on a club website. You must try to think like someone who knows nothing about the club, and little about the hobby. Make sure this page tells them all they need to know.

The heading for the second part of the page begins with a "title element" into which we typed "Schedule for March 2011".

To create the effect of four columns we started by placing a "two column" element under that title. Then we dropped a new "two column element" into each side of it ...

We then dropped "paragraph elements" into each of them and typed in the details of the event for one date.

It might have been possible to make each column one long paragraph by careful use of paragraphs, but we chose a safer - though slower - way ...
