--- Web Navigation ---

Two general types of sites:

Static - content is fixed, web pages are edited and posted automatically.
Dynamic - content is generated from databases (text files, relational); pages provide a framework to display content.

"FrontPage" site layout model:

	Top-level pages - accessible from all part of the site (includes the Home Page).
	Child pages - subordinate to home and subsequent pages - good heuristic: 7 child pages per parent.
	Remote pages - links to other sites (consider opening new windows).

Storyboarding or navigation diagrams are used to manage the overall site layout. During development they can be used to...

	Determine the relative navigation of pages.
	Move pages within the navigation scheme.
	Review overall and detailed site layout.

This page offers a perspective on developing very complex storyboarding by showing the FrontPage navigation diagram for this site...
