Now that we have a general idea of what our website will be like functionality-wise, we can get more specific about its topical organization and appearance. In the next few sections we will create the information backbone for our future website: we will identify its elements, map them onto an addressing scheme, and then put them into a visual perspective.

The time has come to get something down on paper. Let's recollect what we've learned so far and define, in general terms for now, the subject, the purpose, and some of the main features of the website we are going to build.

The quality of a website (or a computer program, or any other man-made product, for that matter) defined in terms of its ease of use is commonly referred to as usability. There is a lot of research going on in this field, and many books have been written (see Web Resources) that explore every little aspect of usability, but frankly, you do not need a science degree to grasp the main principle: whatever you do, just make it convenient to use.

Lots of it. Tons of pages of interesting, helpful information. You don't think you can create enough of it all by yourself, do you? Well, you should not, anyway. The thing is, unless you are a movie star, a Nobel Prize laureate, or simply a well-known figure in your field, whatever you have to say will be lacking in one important aspect: credibility.

Content is what people are looking for and the primary reason they come to your website. It is not my job to teach you how to author great, insightful, authentic content - you are probably much better at it than myself. What I can do is suggest ways to enhance your readers' experience in finding, viewing and comprehending the gems of wisdom you will be creating for them.
