Navigation

[pdf version]

Looking for a particularly useful way to make navigation more effective on your site?  Consider leaving a trail of breadcrumbs.  This technique, which by the way involves no bakery products, lets you include a navigational aid across the top of the page by showing the view how he got to that particular page.  For example, instead of just listing a page title, consider something a little more descriptive like:

Home -> Products -> Widgets -> Item 1

Not only does this method tell the view where he is, but also gives him quick access to the different sections that got him there.
