But it is always good to see it in a list so you can double check once the design is completed! Thanks A lot of this stuff is fairly obvious.

Generally many people have become used to this structure, so changing it will more often than not loose the user. Firstly when designing a website, think of what you would want from it. Perhaps it is a shop. You will want to see all the colour options of that product and also a bigger image. The main thing is paying attention to what the user wants. It will usually be a very simple and functional site, but this can also be made into a beautiful design, without hindering the functionality and confusing the user. I pretty much abide by all the above points when designing. These together with an appropriate design, is usually a winner. A nice set of general rules on how websites are formed there.
