About This Event
This day-long class covers principles of web navigation and methods of navigation design with practical examples and exercises. Participants should have some experience creating or maintaining websites and are looking to deepen their design skills. This includes graphic designers, web masters, usability experts, and beginning to intermediate information architects.
The web has changed in the last decade. The notion of Web 2.0, in particular, marks a second phase of the web characterized by user-generated content, collaboration, communities, and broader participation in general. And new technologies, such as Ajax and Flex, point to a more interactive web with highly functional applications.
Amidst this change, the basic problems of creating a good web navigation system remain. In many respects, they only get even more complicated. Business objectives increasingly rely on the assumption that people will be able to find, access, and use the information and services they provide. In other words, in order for web sites to successful, people must be able to navigate effectively. A "cool" site with lots of interactivity and user participation will still be lousy if the navigation doesn't work.
After this class, you will be able to:
1. Understand and apply basic principles of web navigation in your work
2. Recognize different mechanisms and types of navigation, as well as different page types
3. Apply current methods of navigation design for page layout and creating a unified navigation system
