Site structural themes
• Web sites are built around basic structural themes that both form and reinforce a user’s mental model of how you have organized your content.
• These fundamental architectures govern the navigational interface of the web site and mold the user’s mental models of how the information is organized.
• Three essential structures can be used to build a web site: sequences, hierarchies, and webs.

Site structural themesLinear/ SequentialThe simplest and most familiar way to organize information is to place it in a sequence, This is the structure of books, magazines,Example: encyclopedia, learning sits, Tutorial, Travel guide

Site structural themes
• Hierarchies• Information hierarchies are the best way to organize most complex bodies of
information. Because web sites are usually organized around a single home page, which then links to subtopic menu pages,
• hierarchical architectures are particularly suited to web site organization. Hierarchical diagrams are very familiar in corporate and institutional life, so most users find this structure easy to understand.
• The simplest form of hierarchical site structure is a star, or hub-and-spoke, set of pages arrayed off a central home page.

Site structural themes
• Web• Webs• In this structure the goal is often to mimic associative thought and the free flow of
ideas. This organizational pattern develops with dense links both to information elsewhere in the site and to information at other sites. Webs work best for small sites dominated by lists of links and for sites aimed at highly educated or experienced users looking for further education or enrichment and not for a basic understanding of a topic
