In Sitemap you can add page links in hierarchy if one link has categories or sub categories. Don’t create mess of links; each link should be clearly described and visible.
Home pages and Content pages
Mostly there is only one home page on every website. Home page is the very first page when we open a website. Home page gives an overview and description about the site and all the contents that are available on the site. While designing a website home page, it should be designed very attractively according to the user perspective. There should be no mess on home page. Each content must be placed on its own position. Content pages are those pages that directs to a specific content or information. There is no need to design enough the content pages.
Column in Layout
There could be single column, double column or three column layouts in the site. Every column contains different content and information of one column shouldn’t be mixed up with another column. Some column provides just overview, some provides detail and some provides description about the content. You can also use table in website to set content. Sometimes nested tables are used to display the content on the page.
