When creating a website, it is necessary, first of all, to pay attention to the content side of the resource. The structure of the website, its formal side largely determines the convenience of familiarization with the content.
Instructions
Step 1
Start development by building the internal structure of the resource. It will be determined by what information you intend to place on it. Think about which sections the website will include and what subsections it will be divided into. In other words, put together a resource tree structure.
Step 2
Consider, for example, how to create the structure of your home page. Such a page, as a rule, contains photographs, a story about yourself, contact information. The internal structure of the page will include such basic elements. You can expand it if you want: break each section into smaller thematic subsections. Include a section titled "My Creativity" in the structure, if your activity is related to creativity, and a "Guestbook".
Step 3
Move on to developing the external resource structure. Decide where the banners, site menu, traffic counters, search box, announcements of new sections and updates will be located. Put the main content of the page that creates the site in a central place. First, draw the layout on a plain sheet of paper. Do this in order to get a rough idea of the layout of the elements.
Step 4
If you are having difficulty in defining the external structure of the resource, then study several sites with similar topics and choose the most suitable option, then take it as a basis. When choosing, proceed from the fact that the main goal of the external structure is to provide website visitors with ease and convenience in navigating the Internet resource.
Step 5
When you create a resource structure, strive to ensure that there are no pages below the third level in it. This will reduce the total number of characters and folders in the page url.
