Our intent is to validate the adoption of an enclosure-based visualization technique of hierarchical structures for the presentation of web sites, according to a paradigm that (1) abandons the concept of web page collection and (2) replaces the link-traversal based navigation with a zoom-based navigation. In particular we re-visit the box-in-box technique (originally introduced to visualize objects in a knowledge base), based on recursive containment among labeled boxes, where panning and zooming operations allow to move the visibility window over the structure. The paper presents the main features of "boxed" web sites, sketches system characteristics and architecture, and discusses results of a preliminary evaluation study based on the comparison between a traditional version and a boxed version of the same site.
