Navigation Rules:
How
the user navigates around your web site can make or break your site. If the site
is too difficult to navigate around the user is not going to enjoy the time spent
on your site and may leave or not return again.
With this in mind you
need to make your navigation controls as obvious and simple as possible.
Keep the navigation controls consecutive. It's no good changing the colour or
the place of your navigation controls, as this will only confuse the user. Using
frames for your site may help with this.
There are different ways you
can create navigational controls for your web site and they are: - Text:This
is the simplest way to link pages on your site. Although not as attractive as
graphical navigational controls you are at least guaranteed fast downloading times
and can be viewed in all web browsers. Images:Using
images to make navigation buttons to link the various pages on your site together
can really make a site, but not everyone, such as the visually impaired and browsers
that don't display images, will be able to view the buttons. To overcome this
problem you can use the HTML ALT tag, which will display a text alternative to
your button images.
With images you can use icons or symbols to represent
where the link will lead. Again here you must be careful, as what means a mailbox
in your country may have no meaning to people from other countries.
It
maybe good to use text links with your icons or symbols, that way you get the
best of both worlds.
