Page templates
Each level of education.nsw's information architecture has an assigned page template. Use this guide to create pages based on those rules.
Website structure
The education.nsw.gov.au site consists of 6 main page types, each with their own purpose, layout and structure.
The page structure is as follows:
This structure reflects two elements:
- the level in the information architecture (IA)
- the page template used.
Visualising the structure
The following diagram shows an example of this complex page structure. Each level in the IA reflects a different page template.


Exceptions
Level 0 will always be the homepage, and level 1 will always be a hub.
If there's not enough content to justify a level 2 hub, level 2 will become a section instead, resulting in this structure:
- Level 0 homepage
- Level 1 hub
- Level 2 section
- Level 3 landing page
- Level 4 content page.
- Level 3 landing page
- Level 2 section
- Level 1 hub
Sometimes there will be no need for a landing page, in which case the structure will follow this pattern:
- Level 0 homepage
- Level 1 hub
- Level 2 section
- Level 3 content page.
- Level 2 section
- Level 1 hub
Browse the page templates section for more detailed explanations of each template.
