Ideas on Structuring Your Website Pages


One of the first things you'll have in mind when you decide to purchase your new Website will be the number and the type of pages you'd like your website to contain.  This simplest of tasks can very quickly create a real quandry;


"There's so much to say about my work after I've slaved and sweated over it night after night!  How do I know what to leave out and what to put in?"

It's important to remember however, that not every single page of your website will be used solely to display and discuss your work.

 

You must also consider adding in the information that your visitors will want to know, such as how you got started in your work (about me page), how long it will take for your items to arrive if you intend to post them out (shipping and delivery), and how you're going to treat private data such as their email addresses with courtesy (privacy policy).

 

Here are some example page titles to give you a few initial ideas.
