Don’t Let Good Content Get Lost
You’ve got your site. Great.
Now you need to make sure visitors can actually find what they’re looking for without digging through chaos.
Good content can get buried in a bad layout, and when it does, people leave. That’s why structure matters.

Think Like a Librarian, Not a Marketer
Forget trying to be clever. Be clear. Your job is to make the path obvious:
Categories → These are your main topics (3–5 max). Think of them as sections in a bookstore.
Tags → More specific and optional. Use them only if they help.
Pages vs. Posts → Use pages for permanent things (About, Join). Use posts for content (videos, articles, lessons).
Future-you will thank you when you have 100+ posts and your site doesn’t feel like a junk drawer.

Keep Your Brand Consistent
Content organization isn’t just about labels, it’s also about feel.
Make sure your layout, colors, and style all tell the same story. Consistency builds trust and makes visitors feel at home no matter where they land.
