visit some web sites and then identify all the controls used for navigation and input (also state the name of the applicable web sites). are the navigation/input controls obvious? discuss some differences in visibility and affordance among the controls. could the controls be implemented in a better fashion?



Answer :

Three common types of associative navigation are: contextual navigation, quick links, and footer navigation.

Most navigational methods can be divided into three categories:

  • Structural : Connects one page to another based on the hierarchy of the site; on any page you’d expect to be able to move to the page above it and pages below it. Structural navigation can be further subdivided into two types: main navigation and local navigation.

MAIN NAVIGATION Also called: global navigation, primary navigation, main nav.

         The top-level pages of a site's structure—or the pages immediately following the home page—are typically represented by the main navigation. The primary navigation links should behave extremely consistently and point to pages on the website. Users don't anticipate clicking on a primary navigation link to end up somewhere completely unrelated. When using the primary navigation, navigational changes between pages are often minor.

LOCAL NAVIGATION Also called: sub-navigation, page-level navigation.

       Below the major navigation pages, local navigation is used to access lesser layers of a structure. Local denotes "within a certain category." Local navigation typically displays possibilities below the current page as well as alternatives at the same level of a hierarchy on a specific page. Local navigation is essentially an extension of the primary navigation and frequently works in conjunction with a global navigation system. Local navigation is frequently handled differently because it fluctuates more frequently than main navigation.

  • Associative : Connects pages with similar topics and content, regardless of their location in the site; links tend to cross structural boundaries.
  • Utility : Connects pages and features that help people use the site itself; these may lie outside the main hierarchy of the site, and their only relationship to one another is their function.
