 The page layout can make or break a web site. Many web sites add pages here, and add pages there without any thought to the customer navigating the site. Navigation through the web site becomes awkward turning away customers.
When you first design your website, you need to plan for the all the pages you might want to add. Create an outline grouping simular pages together. This is the source for your web site navigation. The navigation can have all the pages you might want to build, the actual controls are just hidden until the pages are built.
If you can storyboard the site then it will save you much. It does not need to be very elaborate, just a quick pencil sketch showing what features you want and where you would like them placed. The main expense here is editing the entire site because another page is needed or we create a layout based on 3 lines of type yet the client needs 300 lines.
