Navigation
& Clarity
If your visitors cannot get
around your site easily, or get confused by what they see – you will lose
them.
Assuming your website is designed to create revenue then a website is far better
to be over simple than over-complicated.
Do not get caught in the trap of web-designer’s ‘showing off’
their talents with the latest graphics and multimedia techniques. Your customers
just want information – that’s all! If your site gives the right information
– they will be much more likely to buy.
It is ESSENTIAL that your visitors can get around your site within two or three
clicks – and then get back again! If they can’t they’ll simply
get lost and/or go elsewhere. ‘Breadcrumb’ navigation(look at the
top of this page) for complicated sites – or where there a re a lot of ‘DRILL-DOWNS’
is an easy to understand and well respected means of navigation.
Menu bars are typically situated on the left hand side. Make buttons LOOK LIKE
BUTTONS! Try and have text hyperlinks either underlined or obvious in some way
– or your links won’t get used & consequently missed opportunities.
The benefits of ‘Good Navigation’ include:
• Increased Conversion. You’ve paid for marketing
the site – now get your best return.
• Increase satisfaction. Your visitors will be far happier
and consequently more likely to buy from you in some way if there are not annoyed
at your website. Remember – a competitor is just a click away.
• Everyone likes something for nothing! Offer something
that costs you little or nothing but that may well be of value to your customers.
