Website Navigation Tips


Site Navigation Design Tips for user friendly websites


Here are a few important tips for website navigation design:

  • repare your site navigation before designing to prevent cluttering up the site with forgotten links.
  • A clean-cut, uniform and logical navigation system is a must.
  • If you have too many links then you should use drop-down menus or flyouts for your main topics. If you have Fireworks create your drop-down menu navigation during the design stage or Dreamweaver then use the drop-down menus behavior are one of their most popular in-built "Behaviors".
  • Maintain a site map or section contents/home pages to help people find what they are looking for with ease.
  • The navigation should be flexible enough to accommodate any amount of additional links as you probably will be adding pages periodically. For this using drop-down menus or sectional navigation menus is a must.
  • Keep your main links together as much as possible so that visitors can absorb them at one shot anddisplay your tag-line on all pages so they know what your site is about immediately.
  • There is no harm is showcasing important links, even if they are repeated links in a different location on the page, if you think they might interest the visitor. Use the title attribute in A tags to describe the linked page.
  • If you like a graphic intensive site and find there is not much space for accommodating all your links, you can have a separate home (splash) page and all other pages as content pages. Thus your home page can have visual appeal and your inner content pages can have an elaborate navigation structure that draws focus to the content.
  • Use your navigation space efficiently. Use short, clear and precise words in your links so that your visitors know what the corresponding page will contain.

Take a look at our Dreamweaver Templates and Custom Web Design Portfolio to see the various kinds of navigation systems you can use.
