Sign into your accountNavigation: Real Estate Website Theme Design Series Part Two
April 08 2013
This is the second post of a multi-part blog series that covers the integral design elements of a real estate website. Two weeks ago, we brought you Part One, an overview of website Headers.
Almost every article we write should could start off the same way: Consider the audience you are intending to attract to your website. Make every decision with them in mind.
The navigation of your site is no exception. Applying the above to the decision of how to lay-out your navigation couldn't be more important. After all, you are presenting to the audience how to navigate a website built for them.
The rule of thumb for an effective navigation module is to make it visible, intuitive, and concise.
AVOID overstuffing the main navbar. Items presented should share a similar value. The more you add, the more you water down the value of the rest. Because your site has a specific audience in mind, present the options that they expect/need.
REMEMBER that this is the navigation that will typically be seen on every page. So it needs to make sense regardless of the context.
USE dropdowns to offer additional navigation.
