File Structuring and Linking

I'm unsure as to which forum to post this in, so if this needs to be moved, sorry about that.

Anyway, I have been ponding this question for awhile. I was wanting to know if I could get some ideas on how best to structure a site that is dedicated to a manual.

I'm the only person in the company that knows anything about web design/programming so I get the opportunity to design websites and code them for people who know nothing about even basic HTML (in order that in the event that I leave the company, other people won't have a huge learning curve in order to make simple updates).

With that in mind, I'm trying to structure the directory and linking navigation for a manual that I'm updating.

The manual consists of 6 Major topics. Within each of these topics there are various amounts of sub topics and under the sub topics there are links.

I've got the menu working (Javascript to toggle visibility of topics/sub topics), but I've been trying to come up with a scheme that will easily allow for adding new pages. These new pages aren't going to just be placed at the end of the line (so I can't just do a numbering system). They will be randomly inserted throughout the topics and sub topics.

Does anyone know of a good way to structure something like this? If I was going to stay here until I died, then I wouldn't mind structuring it in slightly more complicated ways that involve having to change other things, but I'm not. So I need help. Thanks for any tips.

Are you using asp with a database? Is so, then just create "add pages" - then even if they do not know anything the directory sturcture is irrelevant.

Or, if there are files that are the pages, again, using asp and a db you can do an upload page that will put the files where you want them according to criteria that is set.

Also, using asp and a db, the linking would not be a problem and the novice again would not need to know the structure.

If they need to edit, then if the info in in the db write an "edit page" script - if it is in a directory, say word doc, you can still write an edit page and call word.
