Unit 3 reading and response
Chapter 6 Breadcrumbs
One thing that will drive me insane is poor street signage.
Poor directions given to me by good friends, and bad advice given to me by
anyone.
The same thing goes with having a website that ha no direction,
has crap-tacular navigation and a way that seems to keep us going around and
around to the same page but labeled different ways.
This means that a good website has a clear and navigable
site, and that means they have a solid and logical logic map. This is very
important as I have given up going somewhere if I can’t find the address. Quick
references and easy to identify products will lead a website far. Also having a
navigation bar and the same appearance on all screens will allow for people to
quickly identify that they are on the same site they started on. Changing the
layout on every page will leave the viewer confused and hitting the back button
until they escape our evil clutches, err I mean our wonderful website.
Having a home button is a lot like having an eject button,
we can escape to where we started at any time. Also having a name to every page
is important as it allows for the user to know where they are at all times.
They see the “street signs” and know they are not lost.
Fun navigation from Nimbletank for tablets
A navigation I was not impressed with from Big Apple Hot Dogs
This one was beautiful but was not as easily understood at first, Jean-Chirstophe
