navigation

Website navigation is one of the important elements on the site. The most common location of navigation is across the top of the page:

It consists of the links to the other pages (internal or external links). They can include different links or can duplicate them:

As a rule, navigation helps you to get information and makes it easier for the visitor to get to the main areas of the website.

There are different styles for website navigation:

• Breadcrumbs
• Tab Navigation
• Text Links
• Dropdown Menu
• Sitemap

Navigation should be descriptive and brief, titles should indicate and represent the contents of the page.

It is recommended limiting a number of menus in navigation to most used and important, as a large number of links overloads a page and makes difficult to browse through a website.

Usually most important links are placed at the very beginning and the least important items in the middle or end of navigation.
