It&#8217;s also used for SEO purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sections are defined using HTML elements like&nbsp;<code>&lt;header&gt;<\/code>,&nbsp;<code>&lt;nav&gt;<\/code>,&nbsp;<code>&lt;main&gt;<\/code>,&nbsp;<code>&lt;aside&gt;<\/code>, and&nbsp;<code>&lt;footer&gt;<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure of a website can be classified into different types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<li><strong>Hierarchical Model<\/strong>: This structure is based on parent and child pages, with a clear hierarchy.

It requires users to input their personal details or queries, and the website presents them with relevant content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When planning a website&#8217;s structure, it&#8217;s essential to ensure a logical user journey when discovering information on the website.
