Design a clear and simple navigation system.
According to Web usability expert, Jakob Nielsen, a good navigation system should answer three questions:
- Where am I?
- Where have I been?
- Where can I go?
Keep it constant: Navigation system should be in the same place on every page
Make the content easy to scan – most users only scan read websites
Put the most important content at the top of the page
Avoid text inside images – search engines can no read it and if you have McAfee or Norton Anti Virus, a lot of images can be blocked.
Use the alt and title functionality for images that are links to other pages
Be careful with font colour and background contrast. If your user can not read the text it won’t be effective.
