Sidebar

The sidebar is a side column displayed on the left and/or right of the website. Its use varies depending on the template (design). The information displayed can be controlled in the Backend via the Widgets of the site. Popular widgets include the latest blog posts, recent comments or additional contact information.

There is no room for a sidebar on a smartphone. Depending on the Theme in use, it slides below the content or is hidden. Important elements therefore should not be placed exclusively in the sidebar.

Many modern layouts do without it entirely. When the content uses the full width, it reads more calmly, and attention stays on the text rather than on ten widgets at the edge.
