A website is made up just like any directory or folder on your computer. On your computer, You need to develop a well organised system, so people can find files easily, that allows you to work out where to put things easily, and which will leave room for plenty of growth if it takes place. It's just the same with a web site. You travel round a site through directories and subdirectories moving through linked pages which your browser reads. If you've never noticed, you can follow the sructure through the address bar into which you type the name of the site to visit it.  
       
The navigation has to be straightforward and logical for the visitor, but your individual pages need to be well named and organised so that they can be added to and updated without confusion. This structure is something which we will develop together as I get to understand your particular needs and as we test the site with prospective users.  
       
You will want visitors to find your site in the search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Jeeves easily. In part this is ensured by notifying the various companies of your site's existence. In part it happens over time, as the search engines visit your site and apply various criteria which judge whether it will be of relevance and use to vistors. There are a number of techniques that we can apply to make speed this process up. I am especially proud of how well the site marklazarowicz.org.uk performs in this field.  
       
The other key aspect of site construction is accessibility, which is crucial for all web site owners.
