Planning Your Site

Although you can just jump in and start writing Web pages right away, it’s a good idea to first think about and plan your site . That way, you’ll give yourself direction, and you’ll need to do less reorganizing later.

Sketching out your site and thinking about what it might contain can help you decide what sort of structure it needs.

To plan your site

• Figure out why you’re creating this site. What do you want to convey?

• Think about your audience. How can you tailor your content to appeal to this audience?

• How many pages will it need? What sort of structure would you like it to have? Do you want visitors to go through your site in a particular sequence, or do you want to make it easy for them to explore in any direction?
