Websites on the WineDirect platform are built around layouts. Twelve different layout types are used on every site, and you must assign an HTML file to each. You can assign one HTML file to multiple layout types or use an individual HTML file for each. Files are selected for each layout type through parsing.
Layout Types
Once an HTML template file is applied to one of the layouts below, it will automatically be used on the pages specified.
Homepage
Generally, the homepage has a different layout than the rest of the content pages. Usually, including a feature image and content sections that help direct visitors to the site to the appropriate places.
