Notes: Navigation


Navigation is a fundamental part of web design. When people say “navigation,” they mean how your website is accessed and the order of which it’s experienced. Most often, typography is used as a clear way of indicating where you are on the page. Some pages, such as pages that are contained to one page with a small amount of content, may not need additional support. Most times, your navigation should allow you to freely go back and forth between pages, and provide a clue that you’re on the same site and where on the site you are.


Navigation as Navigation

Navigation doing what you intend it to do, in a familiar and intuitive fashion.
