Header-Content-Footer

The most basic "header-content-footer" layout.

Generally, the mainnav is placed at the top of the page, and includes the logo, the first level navigation, and the secondary menu (users, settings, notifications) from left to right in it. We always put contents in a fixed size navigation (eg: 1200px), the layout of the whole page is stable, it's not affected by viewing area.

Top-bottom structure is conform with the top-bottom viewing habit, it's a classical navigation pattern of websites. This pattern demonstrates efficiency in the main workarea, while using some vertical space. And because the horizontal space of the navigation is limited, this pattern is not suitable for cases when the first level navigation contains many elements or links

Sider

Two-columns layout. The sider menu can be collapsed when horizontal space is limited.

Generally, the mainnav is placed on the left side of the page, and the secondary menu is placed on the top of the working area. Contents will adapt the layout to the viewing area to improve the horizontal space usage, while the layout of the whole page is not stable.

The level of the aisde navigation is scalable. The first, second, and third level navigations could be present more fluently and relevantly, and aside navigation can be fixed, allowing the user to quickly switch and spot the current position, improving the user experience. However, this navigation occupies some horizontal space of the contents
