Re: initial structure ideas

Hello Sai Kiran,

Once you wrote about "Re:initial structure ideas":

Agreed.  Frames are for loosers ;-) <j/k>

SK> 	* Atleast the first page has to be so designed that the visitor

I don't think so... This is not the book we are trying to make, but a website.
Just think then why do you need those scrollbars in any browser? ;-)

SK> 	* Also, a decision has to be reached about the "depth" of the

Don't try to limit the site in depth from the very beginning... it will grow
in the future anyway (hopefully) ;-).  The solution is - clear navigation,
plus of course the site map (love those) ;-)
