If people can t easily find and get to what they need, they might quickly lose interest and move on to another site. If yours is a large Web site, navigating between pages using nothing but hyperlinks can be tedious for the user. But for you, the developer, managing a large site with too many links can also be a nightmare. Visual Web Developer s Site Navigation controls provide a great way to provide an easy, consistent navigational structure for your site. Furthermore, you can define all the links in one place. That way, when you add a new page to the site (or delete a page), you don t have to worry about going back to tweak the links in a bunch of different pages in your site you just have to keep the links straight in one file. This chapter gives you the goods on how to manage your sites with Site Navigation controls. Getting Organized At some point, you have to think about how you re going to organize your Web site s content. Exactly how you do that depends on your content, the size of your site, and your definition of the word organized. But if you intend for your site to have major areas that people can navigate to, it would be good to create a file for each of those major areas. You can even put a blank .aspx page in each one as a placeholder to link to when you re developing your site navigation.
