When staring at a blank page, ready to design your website there are a few things that need to be considered. Navigation is a key factor in web design - and will have a huge effect on the success of your website. Our Divlets have come up with a few important tips that should help you on your way.

The Div’s top tips…

• Prepare your site navigation before designing to prevent cluttering up the site with forgotten links.
• A clean-cut and uniform navigation system is a must.If you have too many links then you should use drop-down menus or flyouts for your main topics. Maintain a site map or section contents/home pages to help people find what they are looking for with ease.
• The navigation should be flexible enough to accommodate any amount of additional links as you probably will be adding pages periodically. For this using drop-down menus or section home pages is a must.
• Keep your main links together as much as possible so that visitors can absorb them at one glance and know what your site conveys about your company.
• There is no harm is showcasing important links that you think might interest the visitor. Small graphics that draw attention to the link work well.
• Use your navigation space efficiently. Use short, clear and precise words in your links so that your visitors know what the corresponding page will contain.
