Navigation impacts how users explore your site. Clear menus reduce confusion. Group related pages logically. Use familiar iconography for clarity. Place menus where users expect them. Sticky navigation aids in long-scroll pages. Mega menus can work for large sites. Limit menu items to essential pages. Highlight the current page for context. Use breadcrumbs for deeper navigation. Offer search functionality as backup. Prioritize important paths in your hierarchy. Test navigation flow with real users. Keep labels concise and descriptive. Good navigation builds trust and retention. Design with the user’s journey in mind.
