Website Outline Example
Many sites are comprised of First Level, Second Level
and Third Level pages in order to present their information.
A "splash" page or opening page is sometimes used to animate a introduction or to convey a message before entering the main site.
Using the example below, organize the main areas and subsections of your business into an easy-to-navigate system. A simple outline to sort out it's structure is a good way to get started.
