Sequence
A simple linear way to organize material. Sequential structure usually works best with smaller web sites.
Grid
A grid structure is a complicated web structure which is best suited for information where the audience has some basic knowledge or the topic.
Hierarchy
A hierarchical structure is an excellent method for organizing complex information around a single home page.
Web
A web structure provides a free flow of information, but is often difficult for inexperienced users to follow.
