  2. Logical- Remember your structure represents information and it will only make sense if it is organized logically.
  3. Categorized- You need to make proper categories as well as sub-categories of web pages and make sure to keep it bare minimum otherwise, it results in chaos.

Clear URLs for navigation

Compatible URLs are essential for site navigation, it benefits more if you keep them in a logical arrangement.

 

It helps in two ways:

 

  1. Users can easily configure their location on your site.
  2. Google likes to have insight on pages in a website that will eventually help in marketing.

Main navigation pages in the header

Create a header catalog for navigation pages that makes it easier for the users to travel from one page to another with a single click. We should also make sure that the navigation menu corresponds with a header to avoid confusion and complication.

 

Consistent navigation structure

While creating a navigation structure make sure it is not disorderly and complicated. The navigation structure should always be shallow in-depth, which highlights only important pages. A complex structure may result in the loss of salient web pages with highly important information.
