The Key to Better Websites A Navigation
Print this Article
One of the primary implications of a well-organized / good
website, is to keep your visitors in the website. A website is
definitely created for a purpose, unless intended for personal
use, which is the minority.

Introduction | Importance of the latter :
For example, a portfolio website would want to be visited and
it’s content viewed. For companies and internet businesses,
your website certainly aims to provide product information, to
make sales, or somewhat similar.
However, most individuals undoubtedly prefer visually
captivating designs, so on and so forth. It is undeniable that
this causes no harm, but one must put himself/herself in other
people’s shoes, as to understand how a visitor to the website
might think, do and react.
1 ) Navigation
As I said, a web designer has to learn how to think the way
your visitors think.
Situation A : Website with good navigation ( 2-3 hyperlink's to
target page ), well planned in terms of placement, and
design.
Situation B : Website with poor navigation ( takes forever for
the visitor to reach his/her target page ), hard-to-read
navigation fonts and poor placement of the navigation
buttons/bar.
In Situation A, a visitor will always want to be able to access
his/her target page. For example, the individual comes across
your website, and is interested in the product sold, but wants
to find more information. He/she finds the navigation with no
trouble, and enters the particular product information
page.
As for Situation B, a visitor stumbles into the website, and
would also like to find out more information about the product.
Unfortunately, due to bad placement and fanciful font-types,
the visitor takes forever, or even fails to find the navigation
bar.
Even when he/she does so, links to the product information are
nowhere to be found, (example : home > about > products
> product image > etc…[a few more clicks] > product
information ).
Analysis : In both situations, wouldn’t a website with
characteristics similar to the Situation A be more rewarding
ergo better?
