Blog: Create a Website Tutorial

I have finally put my Site Build It website on paper to have a better understanding on building this site.

Main Theme (1st tier) - Chocolate Recipes

Items for the side menu navigation (2nd tier) will be: Benefits of chocolate, White chocolate recipes, sugar free recipes, low fat recipes, dark chocolate recipes and online store.

Then all the recipes and information will be under the heading in which they fall, this will become my 3rd tier, which most of the time will not be shown on a side navigational menu but a visitor will get to it by going to a 2nd tier page.

Example - If they arrive at the home page - any of the side navigational pages will get them to the 2nd tier and from the 2nd tier there will be links within my content to get them to the 3rd tier for even more information related to the second tier.

I am not an artist, but I believe this image will give you a better understanding.

The online store will be on the side navigational menu, but you will also be able to get to it within any of the 2nd or 3rd tiers on the site. The store will include gift baskets and baked goods (many affiliate programs for these items)

The Site Build It program uses the tiered effect to create a website. The search engines like this as all of the information below your main theme is related to your main theme.

Many beginners try to create a website about too many different products or information that does not relate to one another. You must keep within the same theme for the site.

While doing research for this example of creating a site using SBI, not really sure why I thought about it, but I put into the search engine “chocolate diamonds”. I found out that there really are diamonds that are called chocolate diamonds, BUT I would not want to add this information to my website as my site is about Chocolate Recipes. If I started a website about Diamonds then it would be a perfect fit but not for this site.

By using the Site Build it program, you can create a website easily. By using the Site Build It action guide, all of this (and more) is explained in much greater depth.

Take a look also at your competitors and see how they have their website built. I bet you will find something close to my drawing above. Also using your competitors site map will help you see what product or information is going under what page.

No matter what type of website builder you will be using to build your own site, by using the tiers as shown above it will help the search engines really understand what your site is about and help you generate targeted traffic.
