Without a solid and logical organizational backbone, your web site will not function well even if your basic content is accurate and well written. Outline a home page to reflect this organization. Your home page is the starting point for exploration of your site, and all the main branches of your site originate there. The logic of your design must be readily apparent to a user. After glancing at your home page, the visitor should have a basic understanding of your site's underlying structure and know how to navigate your site to find information.
Users appreciate short chunks of information that can be scanned and located quickly.
Once you have determined a logical set of priorities, you can build a hierarchy from the most important or most general concepts down to the most specific or optional topics. Consider the trade-offs between constructing many short pages and a few long ones. Ideally, a visitor should only have to traverse two links to reach important information. Provide access to your information to match the way your target audience will use your site. Training sites tend to be linear in design, moving students from point to point as they build their knowledge.
