Unit 3 Reading Response
Chapter 6. Street signs and
Breadcrumbs: Designing navigation
Chapters 6 talked
about the importance of begin able to easily find ones way around a web site
and the different ways to help the user out. One of the first ways to help the
user is by having the links legible and easy to understand. If one clicks on a
food menu, you would expect to see a food menu not a contact page. The links
need to have the proper information that relates to what is being informed by
the link. Another way is having a good color system on the links. Once you click
on a link, the color should change to show that one has already clicked on that
link. If the color is the same then the user will more then likely forget what
section they are on. Having a proper hierarchy will also help to guild the
user. Once they click on the link and it
will open up to other selection under then link like a pyramid. With other
links opening up under that link so the user can return to the home page if
they need to without re-typing the URL address or if they can’t see the home
button. Any of the above named styles will help to guile the user. A larger
font size is good to have as well. The easier it is to read the better they
know where they are.
