 ### Examples
 
 TBD
+
+## Pages
+
+This section defines what content is found on the individual pages and what its purpose is. We also define how they are interlinked with each other.
+
+### Splash screen
+
+A short animation to introduce game logo, name, maybe even running version.
+Can also contain a background video of the different mechanisms of the game to give a better insight what the player is getting into.
+
+### Main Menu/Navigation
+
+We need to decide, whether or not we provide a main menu to navigate the other pages, or if the navigation is always visible. Different concepts are outlined below.
+
+### Server browser
+
+Finding, filtering, sorting and joining servers.
+Hosting servers.
+We need to prioritize which server properties to display:
+
+* Servername
+* ServerIP/Domain
+* Players
+* MaxPlayers
+* Current Map
+* Mode (In Sauerbraten, there is public, protected, private and auth)
+* N Friends playing here
+
+Other features: Mark server as favorite, list favorites
+
+### Settings
+
+Settings for the game can have many levels of complexity, since everything is a variable.
+
+* General
+  * Video
+    * Rendering
+    * Resolution
+    * FOV
+    * Performance filter

+  * Game HUD
+    * Settings for widgets
+      * Display Time
+      * Crosshair
+      * Damage compass
+      * HUD Gun
+  * Teamchat
+    * Shortcuts (Cover me, restore flag, etc)
+  * Scoreboard

+#### Video
+
+Sauerbraten went as far as allowing users to define whether or not to use glare, or fullbright models.
+
+I would simplify this a bit in terms of performance levels.
+There are still some settings that players have a personal taste for. E.g. Motion blur or fadetime of dead bodies.
