I've always thought that sites with a too rigid structure (or in fact any site you can make a sitemap of) miss the point of the Internet.<br /><br />On a website, information can be hierarchically ordered, but you should offer at least 2 alternative options (search, keywords, etc). There are many strategies for your users to find information and if in fact you have a lot of information (like the BBC) you should cater to as many of those strategies as possible.<br /><br />I also think sites with too much of an introductory page miss the point. That introductory page is interesting only once, so basically you're saying to your visitors: we don't really think you'll visit twice ;-)<br /><br />Heck, I could go on for days on this subject ;-)Boudewijnnoreply@blogger.com
