Unit 3 Reading

Chapter-6:     He is so cute- such a man!
Especially in those emotionally exasperating charts of travel through the department store. Now, most women would just ask - in other words - look for a site map. (Which reminds me that I have not completed the chart yet.) But it brings to mind the frustration of many sites ( including  my own) which do not have a map. Inefficient.
Clarity on a website makes our internet world far more peaceful. Titles of the pages should match or obviously coordinate with the title on the link. Making the links stand out in some way, when at that location is very helpful, prominence is necessary. As well as making an indicating color change (breadcrumb) to let the guest know that they have already been any certain page. Breadcrumbs are handy but should not be considered the prominent guide. They are very handy at the top of the page in a very complicated large site. File Tabs can be very helpful & appropriate on many website formats. Clean & efficient. [If kept in one row. I have been very annoyed with selecting a tab from the back row & suddenly the back row becomes the front row - irritating.] Sharp contrast between the selected section & the remaining ones is very helpful. Having the Welcome page as a tab also makes sense. I love the "trunk test," sometimes we can be pretty discombobulated when researching. [I have always made it a point to have a HOME link on virtually every page of my (needs to be improved) site - except for enlarged pictures where the link will take you back to the medium - then the medium page link back to HOME. But I do not have the title&logo on each page. Although I always try to have the screen tip appropriate.]
So, we all need to have:
1: Site ID
2: Page Name
3: Sections & Subsections
4: Local Navigation
5: "You are here" indicator(s)
6: Search
[NOTE: Search is very helpful on some sites - irritating as Satan's playground on others. I have experienced many (such as tv.adobe.com) that cannot interpret your quest properly - if it isn't in their proper words - they can't find it.] A simple index or site map would be the way to go.
