Site Architecture

This skill assists with planning and restructuring website information architecture. It covers the fundamental decisions that shape how visitors and search engines navigate your site.

Highlights

• Design page hierarchies using the 3-click rule to keep important content accessible
• Create human-readable URLs that reflect your site's structure and avoid fragile patterns like dates or IDs
• Plan navigation menus with the optimal number of items (4–7 typically works best)
• Implement hub-and-spoke linking models to organize content clusters
• Produce deliverables like ASCII hierarchy trees, URL mapping tables, and navigation specifications

This skill works well for new site launches, redesigns, or when auditing existing architecture that feels disorganized. It pairs naturally with content strategy and SEO planning.
