Member You - Web Navigation - Indispensable Rule Number 3 of Hi-ROI Web Site Navigation
The diminutive size of postcards, compared to posters, actually pose more challenge to designers. Unlike posters with a liberal amount of space for leisure, the little space that compact postcards have no room for dilly dallying.Designing a postcard may not be as hard as it looks. It’s supposed to be nothing but a picture sized print you can easi
It is important to stick to the very same vertical links in every page to provide a solid perceptual anchor for the visitor. It's much easier for a visitor to feel "lost" if the vertical links keep shifting and changing.

Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation.

Rule Number 3:
Mutual Exclusivity.
Make sure all your navigation bars and pages have mutually exclusive content, with two exceptions:
1) The footer links should mirror the header links since in long pages people lose track of the links they've seen earlier at the top of the page. It is a great relief to access the same or similar links at the bottom of a long page without having to scroll up to top.
2) When you have a page element that requires action on the part of your visitors and is crucial to your ROI, like a membership form, a product order button, repeating it on different pages is acceptable since some studies have shown that on the average it takes seven exposures before a visitor considers taking action on such an element.
Two major navigation blocks on a great majority of commercial web sites consist of 1) the vertical navigation links on the left sidebar or frame/pane of the page, and 2) horizontal navigation links, tabs (with or without drop-down menus)
The links in these navigation blocks should not be repeated in each other since it creates confusion and needless over-clicking. Anything that causes the user to expand extra energy for the same results would create psychic friction and frustration.
A good rule of thumb is to reserve the vertical navigation links (usually on the left side of the page) to the HOME link (should always be the first on top) and information links such as "Calendar of Events," "Careers," "Newsletter," "Map," or "Troubleshooting."

Through observing business people who have been successful, and how they achieved their success, I have concluded that there are a number of factors that must be present for business success to occur. As I like to keep things simple, these success factors can be condensed into a formula. It is:Success = Startup Business Person + Product/Service +

Many factories and warehouses today are utilizing old technology lighting in order to illuminate the warehouse or work environment. Factories are primarily using HID Lighting, which consumes 460 watts of energy per fixture. Example: A factory using 100 fixtures that are on 24/7 will spend $22,314.00 in electrical charges per year. By removing the HID fi

I would like to make something clear. I have visited many, many web sites and have seen a lot of people using this common phrase: Take action right now, don't lose more time, and that is true because if you don't take action nothing happens ( maybe the roof comes down but it does not depend on you). Therefore to take action is very important. But let's

The horizontal navigation links (usually placed on top of the page, right under the main header/graphics) should point at main sections or pages of the web site that can further serve as a mini-gateway to other related subordinate-level pages.
For example, for a Travel Agency web site, one of the horizontal/header links can take you to the "Bargains." Once you are in the Bargains page, a second set of dynamically-displayed horizontal links can point at individual travel bargain deals: "Disney," " Hawaii," "Miami," etc. – without changing the vertical links.
Sticking with these 3 simple rules should solve 90% of all your navigation issues. Let me know how these principles work for you and I'd be happy to share your feedback with my other readers and clients.
