To do that successfully, without using a lot of cuss words, you have to give them a map. And the map is going to use signs. It's called Navigation, of course, and it's one of the fun things about designing web sites. It's one attempt, written in JavaScript, to give my visitors a simpler, more understandable way to find their way around my web site. Instead of a half dozen clicks to get to a page, my visitors can get there with just one or two.
Web designers spend countless hours trying to come up with new ways to make navigation easier.
And, who knows, maybe you'll come up with a brand new metaphor for navigation, something no one else has imagined before, something that will be copied and emulated across the entire Internet. There are a lot of different ways to build navigation into your web site. The simplest technique, and the oldest, is just to use text links. You'll find a lot of those on my site, both because they load quickly and because just about everyone understands them. The most common technique is using graphical buttons.
