ACTIVITY

Add the linkages to the context pages to your diagram and note how you will link between context pages. Note what type of link (e .g. buttons, menus, etc.) you are going to use and what your navigation bar will look like. Keep this diagram to help you with your design work.

 

Navigation

The importance of having good navigation is key to enable users to navigate around any web portfolio easily. If the portfolio constructed in sections, the home page must include a button/link (hyperlink) to each section. Navigation links and buttons should work whether the user is using them to navigate moving forwards or backwards through sections. Some Hyperlinks are positioned within a navigation bar to enable the users to move between pages and content. The position of the navigation bar should be considered. Users need to find and access it easily your however the design and location shouldn't take over the page's design. Hyperlinks often appear as text. Users will click on these to move to another page or content on a page. Navigation consistency is important, the scheme and position you decide should be used throughout the portfolio.
