Our belief is
that the ease of navigation is a principle of web design
necessary to have an effective and user friendly web site.

web-page. Some methods of navigation are better and easier
than others. This web-site will attempt to demonstrate some
examples of navigation within web-site's that are effective
and ineffective.
