Website Navigation

What Makes Good Website Navigation?

  1. Use Descriptive Labels
    • When you use descriptive labels, people know what they are looking at with just a quick glance.
      This makes it easier for them to find what they want quickly.
  2. Limit the Number of Menu Items
    • When using a dropdown menu, you should limit the number of items so that users do not feel
      overwhelmed by information.
  3. Main Menus
    • Establish a main menu that is consistent across all of your pages. Main menus are typically in the
      top-center of a page, and are in a color that stands out against the rest of the page. This makes
      it easy to identify!
  4. Alyways Have a Link Back to the Home Page
    • Providing a link back to the home page on every page makes it easier for users to navigate
      the site.
