A FEW SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKE YOUR WEBSITE EASY TO NAVIGATE

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

If you want to keep web users on your website and make them feel comfortable in it, it is significant to develop a proper navigation system. In case the users find it complicated to find what they need quickly or the website is difficult to navigate, they will never visit it again.

The main function of the navigation is to make it easier for us to find the information we need by showing the site content and make us feel that we know we are on the right way for finding the information we need. It has been proved through research that if a web site has a good navigation, then most of the users will come back and use the web site again.

So, let us see some of the most important steps in making a good Navigation System for our web site. (more…)
