[2001-08-28] Website Navigation
Thinking of a web site as an architectural design is actually a good analogy. It must have a structure expressed as continuity in the layout scheme.

And it should be easy for a first time visitor to find their way around. When finished, your web site can be comparable to a skid row warehouse or to an architectural jewel such as "Falling Water" by Frank Lloyd Wright.

There are good programs now that allow us to perform "search & replace" on multiple files, but there is an even better way to accomplish this task, and you won’t have to worry about inadvertently "replacing" something by mistake.
