Page Design Guidelines for Improving World Wide Web Navigation.
Néstor J. Rodríguez, José A. Borges, Israel Morales · International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction · 1997
Navigation is one of the most critical aspects of browsing pages in the World Wide Web. Users spend a significant amount of time moving from page to page in search of the desired information. The poor usability of Wet pages and lack of good navigation tools wastes user's time, increases the Internet traffic, and contributes to the user's frustration. This research studies and evaluates three page design practices that can potentially improve the navigation on a Wet site. These practices are: the selection of appropriate link names, the adoption of an index of links, and the use of navigation buttons.
