Kynn, What is the lowest common denominator - consider the simplest site, consisting of one page of content. What navigation mechanism is needed for such a site? When does a site grow big enough (or start out big enough) to need a site map? an index or table of contents? more than either? does putting a search engine on a site mean linking to yahoo or google from a page? What is involved in adding a search engine to a site? Do you buy one and hook it up? Do you have to make one from scratch? Sorry if these questions are terribly naive.
