2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/></noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you might expect, most blogs and multiproduct\/category online stores have a hierarchical structure. Articles or products are grouped into main categories, and then into more niche topics or product types in those categories.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential elements of website structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at the essentials of a solid website structure. Most of the following elements apply to both linear and hierarchical structures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udd17 <strong>Permalinks<\/strong>. The URL structure of your site contributes to a cohesive organization. For example, if you have an online store with a hierarchical setup, you might use the following <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/permalinks-in-wordpress\/\">permalink structure<\/a>: <em>myshop.com\/productcategory\/productname<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udccd <strong>Navigation<\/strong>. Menus enable users to understand the structure of your site and easily find what they&#8217;re looking for. Ideally, you&#8217;ll add the main or key pages to the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/menu-in-wordpress\/\">menu<\/a> and display the relevant subpages or categories when a user selects a page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\uddc2\ufe0f <strong>Categories<\/strong>. Taxonomies like <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/categories-and-tags-in-wordpress\/\">categories and tags<\/a> can help you organize your content into clearly defined groups. This makes it easy for users to find a particular article or product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcce <strong>Internal links<\/strong>. When you cross-link on your own site, you <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/improve-wordpress-website-navigation\/\">create relationships between pages and posts<\/a>. This enables users to explore relevant content or obtain more information. It also makes it easy for web crawlers to discover and index your content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf0f <strong>Sitemap<\/strong>. This is a file or page that lists all the pages on your website and gives an overview of the structure. <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-sitemap\/\">Sitemaps<\/a> help search engines crawl and index sites more efficiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83e\udd6a <strong>Breadcrumbs<\/strong>. This feature consists of a sequence of pages that shows readers where they are on your site. For example, if you have a travel site, your <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/breadcrumb-in-wordpress\/\">breadcrumbs<\/a> might look something like this: <em>Home \u2192 Destinations \u2192 Spain \u2192 Madrid \u2192 Food Tours \u2192 Tapas &amp; Wine<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, all the above elements can help users and web crawlers understand the structure of your site. Therefore, you&#8217;ll want to try implementing them on your site, which is what we&#8217;ll be doing in the next section!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-create-a-solid-website-structure\">How to create a solid website structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at how to create a solid website structure (or improve your existing one). These strategies can be implemented on different types of websites, regardless of the Content Management System (CMS) that you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcda <strong>Table of contents<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#categorize-content\">Categorize your content<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#use-clear-url-structure\">Use a clear URL structure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#build-user-friendly-navigation-system\">Build a user-friendly navigation system<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#create-internal-linking-strategy\">Create an internal linking strategy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#generate-sitemap\">Generate a sitemap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"categorize-content\">1. Categorize your content \ud83d\udcc1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Categories are often used on blogs to group articles into topics. However, they can be applied to any website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Categorizing your content can be particularly useful if you have a large site or you offer many different types of products or services. For example, if you sell holidays, you can organize your tours by destination, city, or activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-create-an-online-course-wordpress\/\">offer online courses<\/a>, you might categorize them by industry or difficulty level:<\/p>\n\n\n<div

For instance, your &#8220;lunch recipes&#8221; category might contain subcategories like &#8220;gluten-free sandwiches&#8221; or &#8220;vegan salads.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-clear-url-structure\">2. Use a clear URL structure \ud83d\udd17<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The URL structure of your posts and pages should reflect the organization of your content. For example, if your URL structure is something like <em>abcdesign.com\/services\/<\/em>seo<em>\/<\/em>, both users and web crawlers can tell that <em>Services<\/em> is the parent page and <em>SEO<\/em> is the child page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if you have a blog or online store or offer tours or courses, you&#8217;ll want to include the category (and subcategory) in the permalink. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>www.learneverything.com\/courses\/digital-marketing\/seo\/seo-for-beginners<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above URL, our category is &#8220;digital marketing&#8221; and the sub-category is &#8220;seo.&#8221; At the end of the permalink, we have the slug for the course page name, SEO for Beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"build-user-friendly-navigation-system\">3. Build a user-friendly navigation system \ud83e\udded<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Menus are a key component of your website. They provide easy access to the most important pages on your site and help visitors delve deeper into your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Menus also enable you to make your site structure visible to users. For example, you can display the main sections on your site and then reveal the categories and subcategories when a user clicks on a menu item or hovers over it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image

Additionally, if you offer services like tours, activities, or courses, they can instantly find out how these products are organized on your site (e.g., by destination or difficulty level).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-internal-linking-strategy\">4. Create an internal linking strategy \u265f\ufe0f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/link-optimization\/\">Internal links<\/a> have several benefits for your site. Firstly, they can help increase engagement rates by encouraging visitors to spend more time on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links can also help web crawlers understand the relationship between different pages and posts on your site. This can help your content rank for relevant search queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you might have a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/cornerstone-content\/\">cornerstone article<\/a> on starting a small business. Within this important piece of content, you might link to several relevant posts on your site. These may include articles on getting a commercial license, setting business goals, establishing your target audience, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relevancy is key here. If you link to content that has nothing to do with the topic of the current page, you may end up alienating both users and web crawlers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generate-sitemap\">5.
