Web Design Structure

A silo structure organizes your website content into distinct categories or ‘silos’, making it easier for both search engines and users to navigate and understand the content hierarchy. It’s especially important for SEO, as it helps search engines identify related content and boosts the relevance of linked pages.

Here’s an outline for an appropriate silo structure for a web design and SEO website:

Each primary category or silo can have a landing page summarizing the contents of the silo and guiding the user deeper into the website. Internal linking between the pages in a silo boosts the relevance and authority of pages within that silo. However, avoid excessive linking between different silos to maintain the integrity of each content category.

Adopting this structure ensures that search engines clearly understand the various content themes on the site, and it also enhances the user experience by providing a clear and logical navigation path.
