22 Different Categories Of Information
As an avid reader, and lifelong fan of public libraries, I really like Anna 'Banana' Kruchten's website: Anna Banana Realty.Its home page looks and feels like a well stocked and meticulously organized library.
The navigation bar, like direction signs in a library list 22 different categories of information.
With the headline “Helping You Make YOUR Home-Ownership Dream Come True!' the home page content does what it is supposed to do...draws in the reader, promising benefit-rich information.
What surprised me most about the site is the breadth and depth of website content that it offers.
This large number of categories of content represents a potentially huge amount of information. At first glance, that's kind of scary.
But the information on Anna Banana Realty's website is well organized that that the information is so well organized that it is really quite easy to find topics of interest and move from one topic to another.
