“People won’t use your Website if they can’t find their way
around it”
It’s the quote in the beginning of the chapter. I can
imagine that the writer want to notice us – the designer – to design their
website so that the user can find their way and know where they can go back or
forth when they surfing your website. The
writer explains the chapter by using way finding system in real stores. You can
imagine that there must be a multi-level in a way finding system. First level
is the Company logo/company name/Site ID placed on the top of the page. Next level
nav is called section which contains the main links to go to the main sections
of the department. Besides, the third level nav which is called tertiary contains
the utilities. In my opinion, it looks convenient for the user when they want
to use any utilities such as: search, faq, help, form fill, sign up, store
locator. So the users don’t have to browse around the website to find the
desire site. Also, each section or subsection should have its page title that is
correspond to the link name in order to indicate for the user know where they
are.With a well-organized navigation system, the customers/viewers can figure
out the way to the place without getting lost because of confusing navigation
system.
