What Is Website Navigation?

Website navigation is the process of navigating pages, apps, and websites on the internet. The technology behind it is called hypertext or hypermedia.

Hypertext or media is text-based web pages that use hyperlinks to connect them to other pages on the internet. A hyperlink is a link that leads your web browser to a URL.

The URL indicates which file the browser should access from the server and it downloads and renders the data so the user can see it.

Without website navigation, your visitors can’t figure out how to find your blog, your email signup page,  your product listings, pricing, contact information, or help docs.

Website navigation uses menus with internal links that make it easy for visitors to find the page that they are looking for. Good navigation is an essential element of a user-friendly site.
