Chapter 4 - Planning Site Navigation

The free-flowing nature of information in a nonlinear hypertext environment can be confusing to navigate. Help your users find content easily rather than making them hunt through a maze of choices. Let your users know where they are at all times and where they can go within your Web site. In this chapter you will learn to build user-focused navigation within the hypertext environment to accomplish these goals. Then you will get a chance to apply these skills in a Hands-on Project.

When you complete this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Create usable navigation
  • Build text-based navigation
  • Link with a text navigation bar
  • Add contextual linking
  • Use graphics for navigation and linking
