 Mini-Lesson
Objective
• Examine models for how to create an NHD style Website.
• Begin the creation of my website.

Essential Question
How is an NHD style website similar to and different
from past projects I have worked on? What are the
barrier to my success?
 Organizing Your Information
Website:
Websites can be organized in many ways, use your judgment to decide how this will work
best for your particular topic.
 Segment your information in a logical way. This can be done in multiple ways, for
example: chronologically, topically, by location, etc. You may use any or all of these to
divide your information into different pages.
 Homepage: Include all of the most important information here- your argument, title,
names, and introduction. All pages must link to this page.
 Unify your pages. Use a common text, color, template/ layout, font, etc. to establish a
flow that makes it easy for the viewer to understand your information.
 Avoid visual clutter. Don’t include all the funky widgets you can find, this will
overwhelm your viewer. Viewers will quickly see through the glitz if there is little
substance.
 Pay attention to structure. Use the diagrams below to help you think about how your
information is best presented.
Three Types of Linear
Organization This allows you to sequence the
exact order your viewer goes from
page to page.

Spider Web
This organization allows the viewer
to explore the website in any way
they choose. Viewers will assume
that all the information is equally
important because it is only one
step away from the homepage. Not
all pages must link together.

Hierarchical
Viewer may look at this type of
website in multiple ways. By
layering the information, you show
the viewer that some is more
important than the rest. The closer
the page is to the homepage, the
more essential the information will
be assumed to be.
