Thanks for your feedback, Jonathan! And yes, it’s a good idea to not set up this topic as a collection of different solutions, I adjusted the title and text of my op! on 2) And yes, I didn’t want to suggest using these same terms as such. There is a general suggestion though and it’s not dividing the community into subgroups with 1st level categories. I made a mind-map to visualize this. To me, anything you can put in a similar white bubble would support this layout well: ![sketch1604973788386](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/5/a53aca3e3478810e7231186de23b1e4527091fb4.jpeg) 1. I’m using the [Custom Layouts plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/55208) and all of it’s current widgets: Category List, Profile, Custom Html and Topics List. So the navigation menu listing the tags (community, design, development, marketing) is a custom html list. 2. I’m only using the sidebar on desktop view, not mobile, that’s why I show categories in the top navigation as well. Also, there might be more categories that I wouldn’t want to give a similar spotlight on the sidebar menu. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-layout-for-community-projects/170000)._
