A) WEB SITE ORGANIZATION - As your business site grows in size, keeping up with where each item is located becomes a challenge. The ftp software, included with our Career Library, does a great job of keeping everything online in order, but you need to know where everything is when you are working offline. You need to always keep good records on: 1) A complete list with all the url address for every page on your site and a description of each page
2) location of each url address for every product
3) picture url's that support the product and the picture sizes

In the beginning when your web site is only 10, 20 or 50 pages long, remembering where everything is located is easy. But when your site becomes a few hundred, a thousand, 6000, or so pages remembering becomes a painful waste of time. It is a big mistake for you to think that once a page or picture is posted on your web site that you will never need it for anything else. As you actively improve your web site, you will reuse many of the pictures, so remembering their sizes becomes critical. You will find yourself listing classifieds and need the url to certain products. Or my favorite, writing a new section for the web site and need 100 urls to link the pages with. These problems do happen. Fortunately I learned about records fast.

Here are three examples of the forms I use to keep records of max-info.com
The first one is the general page list. It is best if you keep a separate page(s) for each directory on your site.

Directory: max-info                                         Date:4/12/99

Page Description	URL	URL
Home page	index.html
Internet spy	spy.html	market/spy.html
Library - Fast	market.html	market/Auction.html
No Money Down	realstate.html	NoMoneyDown/ActionPages.html

Every page on the site is recorded on a page like this and kept in a handy day runner type book.

The next form is to keep track of your products and supporting pictures. It is good to divide these forms by type.

Type: Knives                                                   Date:3/26/99

Description	Url	Url	Pic url	Pic url
Black 4" #sp02	Resell/knives/sp02.html	cat/knives/blk4.html	re/knv/img/p02.jpg 120x140	img/blk4.jpg 62x78
Merlin #pk30	Resell/knives/pk30.html	cat/knives/merlin.html	re/knv/img/pk30.gif 168x213	img/merlin.gif 74x96

If you keep all the pictures relating to your product types in the same directory on the web site it is much easier to keep track of your pictures. Example would be all knife pictures in max-info.com/knives/images/.

The last form of the three is a product details form. This form is especially useful when you have dozens of different products and use different prices at different locations. This form works best when divided by type.
