Repetition throughout a website helps to create an identity. When you navigate from one page to another, you should recognize the design, layout, and navigation and know that it will remain consistent throughout the website.

To maintain an identity throughout a website, you can repeat the design of certain elements. Your color scheme, fonts, and navigation should remain the same throughout the website. The repetition creates unity and keeps the pages organized making it easy for the reader to navigate through the website.
