In basic terms, nested paging is the process of providing access to a web page, by clicking on a hyperlink from another web page housed on the same web domain. Hyperlink is also defined as: a link from a hypertext file or document to another location or file, typically activated by clicking on a highlighted word or image on the screen. Additionally, every blue underlined word on this page is a hyperlink providing access to a nested page.

A linked web page does not necessarily have to be housed on the same web domain, but a nested page usually is. In other words, a nested page is the child page of a parent web page, whereby a websites main page provides links to child or nested pages. Nested pages are used to provide additional information about anything; person, item, product, or service, that needs further clarification or explanation whether by words or images.

Consider the following family tree, and an example of why one would use nested paging:

Jane Doe – mother

Mark Doe - father John Doe - son

James Doe - son Joseph Doe - son Mary Doe - daughter

If you wanted to create a web page about the Doe family, you could first create a main webpage with the names of everyone in the Doe family, the history of the surname Doe, where they live, etc. However, if you want to provide more detail about anyone in the Doe family, create a separate page for each Doe family member. Provide a hyperlink to each family members individual page. The hyperlink connects the nested family member pages to the main family page. The following is a hyperlink to the main Wikipedia page: Wikipedia.org

Additionally, clicking on the word, English after arriving on Wikipedia's website, takes you to the nested page underneath the Wikipedia.org main page, for those wanting to access Wikipedia in English. Creating nested pages for a web site by using a template can be useful, depending on your web design needs.
