Use common mechanisms such as navigation bars and menus, positioned consistently
across pages. If possible, use an activeserver to create page templates that apply
navigational elements the same on all pages.
Note: Bobby cannot determine if your navigation structure is clear and consistent across
pages. This issue is raised for every page. If you have created a consistent navigation
framework, your page may be in compliance with this technique. Rationale:
A clear navigation structure is important for users who are new to your site, so they
don't have to spend time learning it. This is especially true for people using access aids
who may encounter the navigation structure in a different way than
you expect. Consistency is important so users don't have to re-learn on each page how to
use the site. |
