# Information Architecture

## Principles
- Keep the homepage quiet; let products and support handle depth.
- Support should be one click away from anywhere on the site.
- Chinese and English structures stay mirrored in page hierarchy, but copy and emphasis can diverge.
- Navigation should never exceed a single row on desktop.

## Global Navigation

### Desktop Header
- Logo (links to Home)
- Products
- Support
- About
- News
- Dealers
- APP (external link: https://www.eversolo.com/controlapp/index.html — opens in a new tab)
- Language switcher (EN / 中文)

### Mobile Header
- Logo
- Menu (drawer; includes APP link)
- Language switcher

### Footer
- Column 1: Products (category list)
- Column 2: Support (FAQ, Warranty, Contact, Downloads)
- Column 3: Company (About, News, Dealers)
- Column 4: Language, social, legal
- Bottom bar: copyright, privacy, terms

## Page Hierarchy

## Cross-linking Rules
- Product Detail links into: related products, related downloads, FAQ topic, contact.
- Support pages link into: relevant product pages, downloads.
- News articles link into: mentioned product pages, relevant support entries.
- Home is a summary surface only — it never owns unique content.

## Support Priority
FAQ, Warranty, and Contact are the lead entries in the Support landing page.
Downloads, Manuals, and Firmware are secondary utilities grouped beneath.

## Localization Rules
- Every page is available in English and Chinese.
- Language switch preserves current page context whenever a translation exists.
- If a translation is missing, the switcher falls back to the page parent, not the homepage.
- News articles may exist in only one language; these are clearly flagged in the CMS.
