"Prototyping Website Structure"

Prototyping Website Structure is an article that presents an analytical look at website structuring. The author focuses heavily on navigation and really takes a step by step look into the various processes of creating a website. The author has an interesting take on the creation of wireframes:

"I'm also uneasy with notorious wireframes. They're slightly more sophisticated than sitemaps--offering a lot more detail. The problem is, they're still presented on paper. And paper just doesn't work. In fact, the detailed nature of a wireframe, I believe, contributes to illusions of communication even more than sitemaps. That's because they look so thorough and detailed. The detail makes those who review them feel like the site has been thought out"

This is a good point/tip to designs and something I will definitely avoid since I tend to sketch. He also references Steve Krug's book Don't Make Me Think, and Information Architecture, by Peter Morville--which we talked about it class.
