Welcome to this ProfileTree video.
In this video, we look at how to plan a website structure which is a key element in the web design and web development process of a website, and how you can use this for your own website.

Creating a well-planned website structure is crucial for user experience and SEO. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Define Your Goals: Start by defining what you want to achieve with your website. This could be to increase brand awareness, generate leads, or provide information about your products or services.

Understand Your Audience: Identify your target audience and understand their needs and behaviours. This will help you create a website structure that meets their expectations and enhances their browsing experience.

Plan Your Pages: Decide on the key pages that your website will contain. This typically includes Home, About Us, Services or Products, and Contact Us. Depending on your goals and business, you might also have a Blog, Testimonials, or a Portfolio.

Create a Hierarchical Structure: Draw a visual sitemap starting with your homepage at the top. Below this, list your main pages (or parent pages). Under each parent page, list any related subpages (or child pages). Keep this structure as simple and as intuitive as possible.

Consider Navigation: Think about how users will navigate your website. Create clear, logical navigation paths from one page to another. Ensure that important pages are easy to find.

URL Structure: Each page should have a unique URL that describes its content. This not only helps users understand what the page is about but also aids search engines in crawling and indexing your site.

Mobile-First Thinking: With the rise in mobile internet browsing, make sure your website structure works well on smaller screens. This means considering factors like button size, text size, and navigation menu design.

SEO: Incorporate SEO best practices into your site structure. Include relevant keywords in your URLs, page titles, and headings.

Testing: Once your site is live, test it. This means checking all the links, ensuring the site loads properly on different devices and browsers, and making sure all the features work.

Remember, a good website structure helps users and search engines navigate your site more easily, which can lead to better user engagement and higher search engine rankings. Keep refining your website structure as your business grows and as you learn more about your audience's behaviour.
