Web Site Navigation
Group your navigational options in relevant categories:
Use common names for your menu options: Home, About Us, Contact Us, Help, Products. Avoid "clever" or "trendy" alternatives.
Use breadcrumb trails as a visual clue:
This is basically the path from the homepage to the page where you are. A breadcrumb trail looks like this: Home > Section > Sub-Section > Page. Breadcrumbs greatly facilitate navigation.
If your site is large, provide a search feature.
Include a search box in the upper right corner of your homepage - this is where people expect to find it. Link to a Search page from your interior pages.
