With this company having plenty of contact information, this two-column approach makes
a lot of sense, and the prominence of the form is handy, because many queries can be
dealt with more efficiently via e-mail.
For Snub Communications, my own site, things are simpler??”I don??™t have a preference as
to how people contact me, so all possibilities have pretty much the same prominence. The
form area is made to stand out slightly more (thereby giving all contact details relatively
equal prominence) by way of its background color.

Again, everything is in one place, rather than spread out over several pages, which makes
sending feedback to and/or getting in contact with the organization convenient for the
end user. The Snub Communications site doesn??™t require a map, but if it did, a link to it
would appear on this page, too. The map page itself would likely resemble this one to
some extent, but with the map in place of the form and image??”in other words, the page
would still include a telephone number and other contact details; after all, it??™s frustrating
to have a map to an organization??™s location, get lost, and then discover you don??™t have the
organization??™s details!
We??™re not going to dwell on exactly how to create these layouts, because we??™ve already
covered the techniques in the previous chapter??”it??™s just a question of creating a twocolumn
layout and cutting in the form (and other details) as appropriate.
