The Top Three Secrets to Site Navigation

by Gloria Philips Expert Blogger
Web Design must incorporate decent site navigation. If there is one thing a visitor to a website wants it's to be able to get the information they are searching for quickly and easily. This is what good site navigation (and good web design) is all about. Here are three secrets to ensuring your website is up to scratch.

Secret 1

Don't Cram your menu bar full of items text or tabs. Most sites include two navigation areas. Often you'll find that a web design is not clear about the purpose of each and the top bar gets filled with too many things making it hard for the user to know where to go.

So You should view your top bar as the place which gives a high level site summary. By looking at the pub your visitor should have a clear view of the various areas within your website. This ensures that they can learn about your website at a glance and access the bits they need quickly and easily.

Secret 2

Not surprisingly Secret two is all about the left hand side menu. This menu is also frequently handled poorly. It's filled with all of the things that the internet design couldn't find a way to fit into the top bar. You shouldn't think of the side menu in this way.

The menu is the place to describe to Your visitor the high level headings that break up all the topics mentioned in your top menu bar. By way of instance, in case you've got an item called birds in the menu then the side menu might include, penguins, eagles, blackbirds and so on.

When your user clicks on the top menu they will know to appear at the side menu for a breakdown of the relevant material.

The Third web design trick is to put the privacy policy and so on in the site footer. Don't take up precious space on this sort of information. Place it in the footer where the user can find it and use it. Do not clutter up your valuable menu space.

Careful about placing things in the footer. Should you put them make sure the footer is big and the text large. Avoid anyone saying that you are trying to hide things.
If you have a website now run through the secrets. If it passes you're on the right track if not then you have got some work to do.

If You're going to undertake a web design ensure you think through the Navigation to make your visitors experience excellent. As a final Thought the thing to consider is that you can always change it round Later to make it even more attractive. So if you are reading this thinking This is too late for me and update the menu bar!
