  2. Get organized • Where will the categories be listed? • Do you have a tab in place already or do you need to add a new one? • Which subtab will be used and what will you call it? • What is the title of your subtab?

  3. Tabs, Subtabs, and Titles of Subtabs This is a Sub Tab Name. This is a Tab Name. This is the Title of the Sub Tab.

  4. Further organization: • Layout your ideas on paper: • Do you want main groups with categories or main groups with categories and sub-categories? • The terminology can be confusing in HIP admin: • Category group – main headings in color. • Category (root) – heading or link? • Sub categories – links.
