Website Planning | Organising the site structure

Organising your website carefully at the beginning will save a great amount of time and frustration later on. To do this, break down your website content into categories and put all related information in these categories. For example, your website may have a page with information pertaining to your company history or a page with your company contact information. These pages would be separate from your company products, services and staff etc.

For categories encompassing a large amount of information (such as a products category), you may need to further divide the category into sub-categories (for example, your products category may contain fruit, vegetables and dairy products as further sub-categories). This type of organisation will make your website easier to maintain and navigate.
