Website navigation plays an important role for any of the website. You can expect a visitor to come back if your website has clear and simple navigation. Complex navigation and redirections is not good for the website. Here are some of the tips that you must remember while making navigation for the website.
- Keep your navigation simple and clear.
- Keep all most important links on the top or on left side.
- Keep similar links on the right side or at the bottom of the page.
- Follow the same order for the links on all the pages.
- Keep important links on all the pages of the website and on the same location.
- Important links must be visible without the need to scroll the page on website.
- If possible put important links at the top and bottom of a web page.
- Avoid placing of navigation links on different place of different web pages.
- You can also place navigation in the running text of your website, pick up the important word that can be linked to other web page in a website, this can be useful if a visitor on your website is looking for more or related information.
- If you have lots of links and there is no place to accommodate them on a page, then use DHTML Menus to save space on a webpage. Divide your links into different categories and possibly subcategories, then use layers to hide and show links as menus.
- Visitors must be taken to the appropriate page, when he / she click on a link.
- Avoid links to other website which are not relevant to the contents of your web site.
- Dead links are outrageous for a website, avoid them and check each and every link in a web site.
