Hi, thanks for the visit - hope that you will find useful information. Leave a comment but if you have any comments on the subject.

It has in the past few years already gotten around that we intended to show users where they are and so can orient a user within a site easy. But as easy as it sounds, so often ignored this requirement and there are some subtleties here that still have not got around everywhere.

Active menu item to select
The standard it has become one of select active menu items. Here is this selection make visually evident. The difference between select andnot selected menu items should be immediately recognizable look at one. Furthermore, it should be noted that navigation is working levels with emphasis in all. Time and again we see websites in which the main menu item is selected beautiful, but from the second or third level break from the visual chaos.

Breadcrumb Navigation integrate
Navigation. The more complex and deeper the navigation structure of a website is, the more important is a breadcrumb navigation. This can create some problems from the neck and has created a global reference point for the user. darstellen. However Bread Crumb should never be the only navigation option. In my view, are the "breadcrumbs" for quick orientation and in an emergency can also abuse this too much for users to navigate.

Each side their menu
Each side should be assigned to a menu item. Especially on the home page, you often see the subitems are displayed in the menu anywhere. This results in pages that are more or less in the "vacuum" space. Classic examples of this offer, for example, the pages of a banner link to home about, but then no item will be assigned. The user clickt on appropriate banner and then has no clue where he is. Same time, the "Home" page is only one page and should not contain numerous sub.

Back button not forget!
A classic: the site should not use the "Back" buttons work in the browser. Therefore, strictly implement next buttons in the right places. With the right places, I mean that the button aufscheinen only there to where he was needed. Such a link is Back on the home page rather pointless. Only on the detail pages on a "read more" link and not the menu's are accessible from my point of view makes sense.

Integrated Sitemaps
Way the user a nice overview of the site structure to provide further provide an integrated Sitemaps. die man in den letzten Jahren immer öfters sieht. By that I mean this global, integrated in the footer Sitemaps that you often see in recent years always. Zwecken nutzen. Honestly, I have no idea how things publicly says that, but this ichfinde quite handy and along the way, these Sitemaps good to use SEO purposes as well.

Conclusion:
These were a few tips to the user, the Web site to guide you through better and less internetafine users through the site without cause frustration. in bestehende Websites eingebaut werden sollen. Of course, the whole with increasing complexity and depth of navigation more difficult and it is particularly tricky when nachträgich navigation levels on existing sites will be installed. It is better to take into account at the beginning of a project already one level more.
