Depending on the menu structure, these links may appear in different places. For the first
example, relegating the link to the footer makes sense; for the second example, keeping it
in the primary navigation will give it maximum visibility. Always keep in mind the marketing

way of more important messaging, or needs to play a lead role in speaking to customers

Content options
When building any section of a website, there is always the process of selecting what to
include. Some designers and marketers subscribe to the ???content bomb??? methodology,
smothering readers with a blitzkrieg of text, photos, illustrations, links, and testimonials;
others scale back to a minimalist ???less is more??? way of thinking, where the content is
stripped to a few essential facts on a single page. Most companies wisely arrive at a comfortable
middle ground.
An About section can contain any number of topics, from mission-critical messages to
superfluous bits of incidental information. Let??™s explore a few options before digging
deeper into a select few later in the chapter.
