Why Organize Posts on a Website?

It is very very important that your website is organized for user experience. For instance, say you have a website with lots of different functions like tax, invoicing, and debt collection as three main titles. Users are likely visiting your website for one specific reason, like tax. They will want to see all the content based on that.

If you’re publishing content regularly enough, then you might get all those posts in the different topics mixed up and it will be harder for your audience to find all the content they want.

Instead, what you can do is create a page where you list all the posts that have the category or tag that is labeled as tax. Then the user will see all the content that is relevant to their needs and not waste time trying to find it.

Another factor is that it allows you to see, at a glance, what content you have on your website within a specific topic. So if you want to create a new blog post on debt collection, you can check that the post has not been written recently by looking at the page.
