Menu & Navigation

Web Navigation is the process of navigating a website or a web application through its various contents or features. A Menu helps to guide the user through the web by listing out the contents or features in a structured format that can be easily accessed. As a result, the Menu is the most important aspect of web design for a better user experience. So, the best way to design a menu is to make it simple, intuitive, and conventional.

There are different types of web navigation practices used across websites.

Hierarchical Navigation Hierarchical Navigation grows from general to specific. This provides a clear, simple path to all the sections of your site/application in a single place.

Global Navigation Global Navigation shows only the top-level sections of the website/application. Further pages and sections are listed on each page as you navigate through the site.

Local Navigation Local Navigation is the link within the text to another page or section of your website.
