Example Site Plan

Not sure what to include in your site plan? Want some ideas on what to start with? Below we've outlined some popular sections and pages, this is a site plan for a basic site, you can add even more sections and menu items to feature more unique content.  If you want even more ideas you can look at our page theme ideas.

Make sure to keep your site easy to navigate and intuitive - experience shows that you have 4 seconds or 3 clicks to show your clients what they are looking for, so get the most important information towards the top or "above the fold" (what your clients can see on your site without having to scroll down).
