Below is a quick "mental snapshot" of what a typical page from this website looks like, broken down into the main parts that are always present no matter which article you’re looking at. Think of it as a mental map: the header, the article body, the sidebar and the footer.

## 1. Header (top‑navigation)
| Element | What you see | |---------|--------------| | **Logo / Site name** | Usually "Health Navigator" or a similar brand. Clicking it takes you back to the homepage. | | **Primary navigation bar** | `Home • About • Services • Blog • FAQ • Contact` – sometimes with a "Donate" button on the far right. | | **Search icon** | Opens a small overlay where you can type in a symptom, disease or medication name. | | **Language selector / Accessibility toggle** | Small globe or gear icon for switching language or increasing font size. |

### 2. Main content area
#### A. Article layout | Section | What appears? | Why it matters | |---------|----------------|----------------| | **Headline** | Large, bold title (`How to Recognize the Symptoms of Hypertension`). | Grabs attention and tells readers what they’ll learn. | | **Meta‑data** | Author name, publish date, estimated read time (`Author: Dr. Lee • 4 min read`). | Builds credibility and lets users gauge effort required. | | **Lead paragraph** | One‑sentence hook summarizing the issue (`Hypertension is often called "the silent killer" because it can cause serious damage before you notice anything.`). | Gives a quick overview, helping readers decide to keep reading. | | **Body copy** | Paragraphs and sub‑headings such as "Common Symptoms," "When to Seek Care." Each paragraph has a clear point; sentences are short (≤20 words) and active voice. | Maintains readability and keeps the audience engaged. | | **Call‑to‑action at end** (`If you’re concerned about high blood pressure, schedule an appointment today.`). | Encourages readers to take next steps, which is vital for health‑communication success. |
### Why This Structure Works
- **Cognitive Load Reduction** – Paragraphs and sub‑headings break information into manageable chunks. - **Progressive Disclosure** – Readers can skip sections they already know; the key points stand alone. - **Actionability** – The concluding CTA gives a clear next step, turning knowledge into behaviour.
