4.1 navigation

Navigation…. this little reading was pretty much telling us how to make an easy flow to our sight when someone is visiting it. Pretty much common sence to me dont really have to much to ad. here is the reading its self.

Navigation

Navigation on the web is addressed in many ways; the main thing to remember: consistency must be maintained, in order for users to have a successful visit. The following items should be considered when designing a navigational scheme:

- placement: navigation should be consistent;
- design: look/feel of navigation should be consistent;
- readability: navigation should be easy to ready, and obvious;
- direction: navigation directs your user to the most important areas of the site;
- hierarchy: secondary, or less important nav, should be muted, or available in hidden areas (ie, dropdown menus).

Navigation methods:

- images: buttons or graphics are used to direct users to particular pages of the site;
- rollovers are often created to indicate the image is linked and adds interactivity to a page;
- text links: text links are organized or customized with stylesheets, to be used in place of images;
- accessibility is important, text links are more accessible than graphic links;
- dynamic (or dropdown menus) are implemented to allow for one-click access to interior sub-page content

Footer links, or links to the main sections in the footer of the page, are essential, for search engine rankings as well as usability … text links, are the only way search engines can easily find your interior pages.
