Use an analogy for organizing pages. Creating a Table of Contents such as is found in a book can help. Use links in place of page numbers. The major sections in the Table of Contents correspond to chapters and should be of equal value or weight. Use an image map on your home page.
Image maps can contain graphics that simulate buttons with labels.
Some image maps contain graphics that help a student visualize the content they will find when they click. For example, clicking a graphic of an envelope is likely to suggest that students will find an email tool in that location. Choose graphics that are unambiguous and not misleading. Provide navigation aids to save time and frustration. If you must use a long page of HTML, put links at the bottom and at sections throughout the page that return students to the top.
