Navigation Bar Unlike print documents, a website can be easily viewed in whatever order the user wishes. That requires a navigation bar, which is just a series of links to the other pages. The navigation bar can be placed almost anywhere on a web page but, as on this site, the best places to locate the navigation bar are at the top or on the left (or both, in this case). Since each element of the navigation bar is a link, it can be either text (as on this site) or an image of some sort. Since I have several different areas of my site, I have several levels on the navigation bar but most sites have just a few categories of pages and require a much simpler navigation system. I've done some interesting things with navigation bars on the sites I've designed but just a simple system at the top of the page seems to work the best. Get fancy with the products, not with the directions for how to get to them. |
