website structure

Learning Intentions

Understand how websites are structured and how important this is

Success Criteria

I can layout a website using a navigation diagram

Website structure

A website is a collection of webpages linked together using hyperlinks.
Websites need to be planned before they are created and often the planning is down to what goes where.
A website may consist of many folders (directories) that allow the site to be organised. This is called the information architecture.

Sitemap

All websites feature a sitemap that allows users to easily navigate the website.
The sitemap (often located at sitemap.xml on the website) will often feature non-human readable information that tells crawlers such as Google where to find all of the pages on the website.

Linear structure

A linear structure is one in which each page leads to another.
This is rarely used on it's own these days and is often used in combination with another structure.
In this form of navigation, the user moves from page to page

Hierarchal structure

A hierarchal structure is one in which the user can move from webpage to another without necessarily having go through others to get to it.
Hierarchal structures are far more common today.

Draw navigation structures for each of the following websites:

Amazon
Apple
Currys PC World
Samsung
Microsoft
Tesco
