=== Multi-page system ===

This approach is for users who find that one page just isn't enough. Set up separate pages for separate uses. A menu bar at the top of each page can visually tie each page together, and help to navigate between them. See ''[[Wikipedia:User page design centerguide/Menus and subpages|Menus and subpages]]''.

=== Multi-purpose user page design ===

Line 98:

== Bigger is not necessarily better ==

Some users keep it short and sweet. The less you say, the more weight each word carries. In a minimalist design, a user might just state the one or a handful of things they wish to emphasize. Or simply provide links to elsewhere, relying on subpages to elaborate—this may make a crisp and clean first impression. One such design is the "hub" style userpage: like the one by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AxG&oldid=722412274 AxG]. (The User Pagepage Designdesign Centerguide's [[WP:UPDC|main page]] utilizes a hub design). Another is the central image style, showcasing a single picture, accompanied by tabs or a menu for further navigation, like used by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Trevor_MacInnis&oldid=320353070 Trevor_MacInnis]. Generally, "minimalist" would be a page that requires no scrolling.
