E. Wilde: Site Navigation

(2) Abstract

Most Web pages are part of bigger structures, usually Web sites. One common goal of Web sites is to make navigation of Web pages easy to understand and use. There are two main sides to site navigation: how to design it from the user point of view, and how to implement it from the Web site of view. User perspectives can be seen as a special case of Web Design Patterns: tasks for Web-based publishing that have to be addressed for a large percentage of all Web sites. Implementation perspectives look at how to efficiently manage information so that changes to the Web site are easily possible.
