Web site structure and management is one of the most important and overlooked
aspects of web design. If you begin your site with a clear structure, adding
more pages will be easy.
A webpage is merely an index to different files, whether they are fill-in
forms, photos, large clickable images, hyperlinks, PDF files, sounds, videos
for downloading,
etc. Since one webpage may have several files linked to it, a website may
have hundreds. Making sure that you, as the designer, know where all the
links live
on your server and that they are functional is a daunting task. That is why
a good site structure is very important to maintain good organization of
your site.
This tutorial will not teach you how to design a Web site, but will introduce
how to logically organize and manage difference files for Web publishing
and maintaining.
