Guest Post – Creating Usable Website Navigation
Throwing a shout out to my latest post, however not on Redswish. My first (I think) guest post has been featured on ifoh designs blog.
The article covers, or at least attempts to cover all the bases to consider when designing usable website navigation. It looks at page quantity, hierarchy, design aspects, accessibility, consistency and navigation design on different types of websites.
Quick teaser quote:
Consistency is essential. Nothing is more confusing than traveling to another page on a website, only to loose the navigation, or find that it’s changed format or location. Ensure that your navigation, whatever layout and positioning it may take, remains in the same place on every page of your site – even if the color scheme or rest of the page layout changes.
A simple ‘Return to the main site’ style link will not suffice.
But hey, don’t take my word for it, it’s my article! Check out the full article here:
