I'm often asked what a good website layout is, well the fast answer is
make it user friendly, every page should be reachable with no more the 3
clicks from any page. Normally what I do is have a main page (the index
page) then sub menus and from there the content pages in linked as shown
in this example:
Keywords
-
From Index have a
link to each subtopic and back to index
-
From Each subtopic
have a link to the sub pages
-
On every page have
have a navigation menu (text link on top, bottom or in a side bar)
that leads to index and subtopic 1, 2 and 3
-
For best results use
text links and have the keyword you want to use in there.
-
When doing link
exchanges have most pointed to your index but a few to some of the
important sub pages also.
See this example here
at the 1985.com Website,
from the main page you can go to each sub page the different restaurants
they promote and from each restaurant page to the sub pages (that show
location of each one, menu etc.). Also see again this page on
website navigation,
make it as user friendly as possible.
