SITE NAVIGATION AND ARCHTECTRURE

When you
navigation should be possible on the basis of information provided on
each page. If a page contains a number of clicks ? able regions and
several sets of buttons, the user is likely to get confused.

One way to overcome this is to design is such a way, to that the
structure is visible to the user and she can easily navigate through
the site in a few steps.

The Opening Page:

The opening page can set the tone of the whole publication and
introduce users to the site structure and methods of navigation. It’s
like the cover of a book, which then draws the user into the site.

The right choice of a site-opening page can depend upon:

  • The nature of the site’s information.
  • The frequency with which the visitors revisit the site.
  • The frequency with which the site’s information changes.

Sites like BBC, Adobe and Macromedia are large , and therefore need to be updated frequently.
