You know the feeling. You enter a new site, preferably from the top, and start surfing around. Yup, like the proverbial rat in a maze your stuck dead in the middle of a site with no idea where you are, how you got there, and no visible way out. But we digress. The fact is that it's pretty tough to be able to give your readers a complete idea where they are unless you really, really take pains in your site design to give them the visual cues they need.
Menus are fine but they've gotta be maintained.
A site index can help but you usually get no good clue about where you are and what connects to what. There's gotta be a better way. Today's Cool Tool , Joust, is a new breed of Web site design tool that goes beyond graphics to adding real structural functionality to your site. Just click on a folder and watch it expand. It comes complete with all the files you need, the graphics to make 'em work correctly, and directions for implementing the stuff.
