How to Organize the Website With Different Themes?

Question

This is a question about HOW TO ORGANIZE MY WEBSITE. This requires understanding of what PAGES means and what SITES means, and I am not too sure.
Please clarify for me what iWeb means by a website. Specifically, I want to make a website which has several different mutually exclusive themes but which are all accessible from each page:
Some pages dedicated to my husband, who passed away in 2000.
Some pages for individual friends.
Some pages for a group of about 10 people. I want a page for each person in the group.
Would those all be considered a different website? A different site? Or are they all in ONE website with my one URL, but just all interconnected?

Lorna,
James' link didn't work because it is just an example
Your URL will depend on where you upload your
site.
It sounds to me like you really want three separate
sites. Why not do this - create FOUR sites. Make the
TOP site just one page, and make text links to each
of the top pages of the three other sites on that
page. You could even add photos or graphics to
represent each site and link to them.
Here's an example: http://web.mac.com/varkgirl is my
main .mac url and I have made my "top" site an index
site with links to all other sites I have made.
If you do this, visitors to yourdomain.com will reach
this "table of contents" page which can take them to
yourdomain.com/family or yourdomain.com/hobbies, etc
etc. The your three separate sites can include all of
their pages in the nav bar so when someone visits
Site A or Site B they will see the links available to
them.
PS - it might be a good idea to put a text link or
something at the bottom of each page in all sites to
send visitors back to the main page (index page).
Something like, "Click here to go back to Lorna's
main page"
Well, now this certainly would be another way of doing it! So my main URL would be the first Welcome — Table of Contents page, probably configured with photos and a phrase underneath? And then a viewer clicks onto Picture 1
and gets transported to the top page of whatever that Picture 1 represents? And on that page 1, there are other sub-pages to click onto? So, Picture 1 might be "Hey, lookit the swim team!", and when people click onto that picture, a page comes up with about 5 hot links that take the viewer further down the road to (1) A group picture of the team with short bios under each photo, and then (2) a news report of the last swim meet that they won in Orlando, Florida, and then (3) an interview of the swim coach?
Is that what you mean? Am I on the right track and reading you correctly?
And at the bottom of each page (or somewhere noticeable), I woud put a "Go back to the Home Page" button?
And within the swim team pages, at the top of the page there is a navigation bar that shows all the other pages in that site???
Now, James suggested something different. (James Tseng) James said to make only ONE Mother Site and make separate Child Pages all equally sheltered under the Mother Site, but not all necessarily having links to all the other pages in the site.
This is actually a good situation for me: to have two seemingly equally viable, legitimate, workable solutions to the issue of organizing my themes and pages within the website. Thank you. Hope the weather in Florida stays Flat Water.
