The idea here is the maintain the basic responsive behaviour of the Index page, i.e. limit the menu options appearing at the top of the page as dosplyed on a Smartphone. At the same time add so more menu items at the foot of the page should the website be found by an interested party who wants to find out what the website is all about.
This also might help with page indexing by visiting search engine robots, although I am not convinced that all I have read in the past about site maps and SEO actually make any sense.
The design of the Sub Footer
Initialy this will be the same sort of buttons as in the main menu.
I could also have a horizontal menu that resizes with screen size. Just like the one that I hate! To do this I will have to experiment a lot more with css for un-ordered lists and list tags. Also the colours of my design elements could be explored to help with the customisation of templates.
There are more menu designs on the W3C Schools website than you can shake a stick at! It seem it is a case of knowing where to start.
