after looking into how i was going to take breadth vs. depth approaches to the site's structure and navigation i'm feeling that both sides have their merits but for different reason. a site that has fewer levels can more easily show the user more of the available pages the site has to offer, while a multi-layered site will have a more difficult time in the menu systems in showing the nested pages and sections.
so my thought is to create a main sectional navigation system on each page except the about page where i will have a site map depicting all of the pages and their nesting relationships to other pages/sections.
perhaps when a heavier reliance on client side scripting is warranted, i'll add some fancier menu systems to each page.
