Abstract :
This work proposes a visual grammar-based approach to support web designers during the analysis and design phases of complex hypermedia structures. The hypermedia is defined through a formal visual language at two abstraction levels: the hypermedia graph outer and inner structures. The model makes it possible to verify the correctness of hypermedia structures and to perform structural analysis for the description and the evaluation of their complexity. A visual environment for hypermedia structures is also presented
