> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

A consistent and adaptable presentation layer is key to building scalable, maintainable websites. In this module, you'll learn how to design and model the structural components that make up your site's visual layout – from shared elements to reusable layout patterns – with a focus on long-term flexibility and alignment with your content architecture.

You’ll explore how to:

- Define and organize presentation elements that support a unified visual design.
- Create flexible layout structures that balance editor usability with design control.
- Build modular, reusable components that integrate cleanly with your content model.

If you want to build a presentation layer that’s easy to maintain, supports reusability, and helps editors work more efficiently, this module is a great place to start. You’ll learn how to structure your website in a way that benefits both developers and content teams – now and as your site grows.
