What problem does it solve? Planning or restructuring a website's information architecture is hard to do systematically: pages get buried, navigation becomes cluttered, URLs grow inconsistent, and orphan pages hurt SEO. This Skill provides a structured methodology for designing page hierarchies, navigation, URL patterns, and internal linking so sites are intuitive for users and optimized for search engines. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Page Hierarchy Design: Apply the 3-click rule and flat-vs-deep tradeoffs to build ASCII tree sitemaps and Mermaid visual sitemaps for any site type (SaaS, blog, e-commerce, docs, hybrid, small business). - URL Structure & Navigation Specs: Define consistent URL patterns per page type, header/footer/sidebar navigation layouts, and breadcrumb implementations aligned with URL paths. - Internal Linking Strategy: Design hub-and-spoke content models, eliminate orphan pages, and audit anchor text and cross-section links. - Use Case: A SaaS team adding 200 programmatic integration pages and 50 comparison pages gets hub page recommendations, URL patterns like /integrations/{name}, and a linking plan that keeps the main nav clean. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan the site architecture for your website, describing your site type, main sections, and whether it is a new build or a restructure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a website site structure and page hierarchy?▼

Start with a content inventory and business goals, then apply the 3-click rule so important pages sit within three levels of the homepage. Produce an ASCII tree of the full hierarchy, a URL map table, and a navigation spec covering header, footer, and breadcrumbs.

What URL structure should I use for blog posts and feature pages?▼

Use short, lowercase, hyphenated slugs that reflect the hierarchy, such as /blog/post-slug and /features/feature-name. Avoid dates, IDs, query parameters, and deep nesting, and enforce a consistent trailing slash policy with 301 redirects for any changed URLs.

How many items should a website header navigation have?▼

Keep the primary header navigation to 4-7 items, ordered by priority, with the logo linking home on the left and a CTA button rightmost. If sections grow larger, group them into dropdowns or a mega menu limited to 3-4 columns.

Does this skill fix XML sitemaps and crawl errors?▼

No. XML sitemaps, crawl errors, and indexation issues are technical SEO tasks handled by the seo-audit skill. Site architecture covers the design of page hierarchy, navigation, URL patterns, and internal linking, not technical troubleshooting.

How do I fit hundreds of programmatic SEO pages into my site architecture?▼

Create hub pages such as /integrations and /compare, keep the individual pages out of the main navigation, and use a hub-and-spoke internal linking model where each spoke links back to its hub. Also account for crawl budget when adding large page volumes.

What is the difference between a flat and deep site hierarchy?▼

Flat hierarchies of about two levels suit small sites and portfolios, while three levels fit most SaaS and content sites. Deep hierarchies of four or more levels scale for e-commerce and large documentation but risk burying content beyond the 3-click reach of users.
