The structure of a website is one of the things that a visitor tends not to notice when everything is working well. They just find the information, go to the service, check the price or sign. But when the structure is weak, people get lost quickly. Then even a nice design doesn't help much. Most of the time, it's a simple question. What to put on the website and how to arrange everything so that there is no chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with the goal, not menu items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common mistake is to start with the menu. Home, services, prices, about us, contacts. It looks neat, but it's not yet clear what the person needs to do and what information is most important to them. Understand the purpose first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An article on this is very helpful, how to clarify your website goals<\/a>. When the goal is clear, the menus and pages are much calmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if the aim is to receive enquiries about a service, the website should contain a clear explanation of the service, elements of trust, the logic of the price and the path to contact. If the aim is to sell products, the structure is different. It is important to stress that there is no one-size-fits-all template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The user journey must be short and clear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The user path shows how a person moves from the first visit to the action. It is important that the person does not have to guess where to click next. It can come via Google, via social networks, via a recommendation or directly to a service page. In each case, it must be clear to them where they are and what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have already planned your home pages, it's worth checking whether you really need them. Read more about this in what pages are necessary for each website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The site menu must not be overloaded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A website menu should help, not show you everything you have. If there are too many items on the menu, the visitor starts reading instead of moving around. Often a few clear choices are enough, and deeper information can be put on internal pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing information, service groups and articles must have their own place. If you are considering a price page, it is also useful to read the article whether it's worth having a separate price page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Structure helps SEO too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google understands a website more easily when the topics are arranged logically. Service pages, related articles, categories and internal links work together. If everything is put together haphazardly, some of the content remains weak, even if the text itself is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore worth planning the structure together with the content. Here is a very related article on content strategy for the new website<\/a>. Without a content plan, the structure often becomes just a menu scheme rather than a real visitor path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
