People have been accustomed over several centuries to the organizational content of books. Every book is broken down by chapters or sections of related material. Smaller points may be in sub-sections in books. The web has a similar framework with the need for organization. Most webmasters decide on what main categories are contained within the main topic. For example, a health web site could have categories for diseases or illnesses, then sub-sections for symptoms and treatments. A T-shirt company specializing in celebrity images would likely categorize by the name of the celebrity.
A disorganized web site breaks the traditional patterns people expect in how things are organized. For example, if a visitor wanted to buy seed to plant, the person would expect to find "seeds for carrots" under the "vegetable" section, not under "flowers". Therefore, before creating a web site, a webmaster should use paper and pencil to draw the organization of the web site. For genealogy, it could be broken down into surnames of each family, or by type of record. A writer might have a poetry section and a short story section. A news website would organize by topic and by date.
