Five Tips to Follow When Outlining a Navigation Structure
When it comes to creating, managing and updating your company's navigation on their website, it's important to look at big the picture before jumping right in. Spend time looking at the company as a whole, determine how you want to portray your brand and figure out who the company is targeting. Make the navigation tabs intuitively relate to the website content.
Tip One
Sketch out a drawing of a navigation scheme created from the site map. The site map will help as a guide when creating a list of pages that go under each tab.
Tip Two
When naming your navigation tabs, keep the names of the tabs to 1-2 words. Make sure the names of the tabs truly describe the pages under that tab. Clearly defined tabs help improve content organization as well.
Tip Three
Arrange tab labels in an order that makes sense to your users. An example of a company that has exceptional navigation is, The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort. Each tab is descriptive and is in an order that makes sense to visitors.
