They\u2019re the tour guide for your website, and users depend on them. And, like a tour guide, your navigation bar affects their experience, impression, and review of your <a href=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/2014\/08\/brilliant-website-examples\/\">website design<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Anchors Visitors to Your Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Navigation bars are familiar to web users. And web users like what\u2019s familiar, especially on unfamiliar sites. Which is why navigation bars almost always take shape as a vertical menu on the left-hand side or as a horizontal menu at the top.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Smart web designers, such as yourself, also know that these two layouts appeal to how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/ux\/how-human-eye-reads-website-111413463\">users read web pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To help users find your navigation bar even faster, you can make it stand out. Use a different font type, size or color to pull a user\u2019s attention. Keep your navigation bar\u2019s style within your website\u2019s theme, though. Don\u2019t make it outlandish or you may turn off users.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another tactic that emphasizes your navigation bar is making it fixed. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awwwards.com\/fixed-navigation-bars-pros-and-cons.html\">fixed navigation bar is easily accessible<\/a> for users and promises them a hassle-free journey in scrolling through your website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An example of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.measponte.it\/\">a fixed or sticky navigation bar<\/a> is Measponte\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14965\" src=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Measponte\" width=\"850\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBut their navigation bar isn\u2019t on the left! And they won an Awwwards for it!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Measponte\u2019s vertical navigation bar isn\u2019t on the left and it\u2019s an award-winning site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The site, however, does follow techniques for grabbing audiences. Their navigation bar\u2019s color contrasts to the site\u2019s background. The font style also contrasts, with a serif font for headings and descriptions, and a sans-serif font for the navigation bar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The biggest influence is the site\u2019s minimalist design. Few elements are competing for the user\u2019s attention, which helps the navigation bar stand out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s fine to deviate from web design standards, you need to make sure audiences respond to your design.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Guides Visitors Around Your Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Once users find your navigation bar, it\u2019s their guide to your website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be overzealous in guiding users, though. If you overwhelm them with options, they\u2019ll leave. Which is why it\u2019s important to make your navigation bar intuitive, effective and easy-to-use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And how do you do that?<\/p>\n<p>Limit your navigation bar to seven items, for one. Humans can do a lot with their minds, but seven is the brain\u2019s cutoff for short-term memory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Place your most important content at the beginning and end of your navigation bar. Courtesy of the serial position effect, whatever is first or last in your navigation bar will receive the most attention. It\u2019ll also be remembered the most, which is why contact pages are often listed last on a navigation bar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Avoid drop-down menus. They\u2019re difficult for search engines to crawl and they\u2019re like a fly to users \u2014 annoying. Studies have also found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/does-user-annoyance-matter\/\">they make websites inefficient<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ready for another example? This one doesn\u2019t break any of the above suggestions, promise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14966\" src=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Nav Design\" width=\"848\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Villes and Paysages\u2019 navigation bar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villesetpaysages.fr\/\">commands the audience\u2019s attention by displaying six headings<\/a> across the homepage. Drop-down menus are non-existent. It\u2019s a navigation bar with a layout that\u2019s efficient to use and caters to viewer behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Again, you\u2019re appealing to your visitors. Appeal to them enough and you can convert them to customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Informs Visitors About Your Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Or don\u2019t, and your site can contribute to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guided-selling.org\/solve-the-5-biggest-problems-of-online-shoppers\/\">50 percent of potential sales that are lost<\/a> because visitors can\u2019t find what they want.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Users visit your website because they want something. And an inept navigation bar isn\u2019t going to help them. Which is why, as a web designer, you\u2019re their only hope.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Striking text, pictures and white space can anchor a visitor to your website. Pictures, especially, can tell visitors about your site and your products, as its easier and faster to process images in comparison to text.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A site that incorporates all three of these techniques is not a Star Wars site. Oh, you missed that reference? Never mind then.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, A-dam Underwear\u2019s demonstrates how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamunderwear.com\/\">photos, text and white space can inform and satisfy users\u2019 wants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14967\" src=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image-3.jpg\" alt=\"Nav Design\" width=\"850\" height=\"523\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sure, the site name suggests its products, but the home page confirms that A-dam Underwear sells underwear for men. The photographs, complemented by a colored text box, also show readers the various prints available. An additional bonus is that users can click these images to view the product\u2019s page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which leads to the next benefit of a well-designed navigation bar: it converts visitors to customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Persuades Visitors to Stay at Your Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Yes, you can break the, \u201cLocation of the Navigation Bar Rule,\u201d on occasion. But, don\u2019t break the \u201cThree Click Rule.\u201d If you have a page that\u2019s more than three clicks away from your homepage, then, please, take a moment and think about the error of your ways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you make it difficult for users to reach a page, they\u2019ll find another website. And they\u2019re judging your site from the first click. In fact, if their first-page selection is incorrect, <a href=\"https:\/\/measuringu.com\/first-click\/\">54 percent of users will abandon their search<\/a>. In comparison, 87 percent will complete their search if their initial choice is right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, plan your website hierarchy, starting with the navigation bar. Think about what arrangements are intuitive to web users, and how those arrangements will direct the user to what they want.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beoplay is an example of a website that\u2019s done just that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14968\" src=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image-4.jpg\" alt=\"Nav Design\" width=\"850\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the site has a full catalog of products, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beoplay.com\/landingpages\/beoplayh4#buy\">its navigation bar is committed to its newest product<\/a>. The company\u2019s assumption is that visitors want to purchase the latest item. Notice how the site also informs users through photographs and text.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Directs Visitors to Your Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Your navigation bar also impacts your traffic and search engine rankings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because your homepage has a high amount of link juice, or authority power, you need a navigation bar that\u2019s concise and has appropriate headings. A navigation bar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webdesignrankings.com\/navigation-bar-design-and-why-it-matters\/\">concise and simple wording<\/a> is more effective than one with complex or vague words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t take simple wording to mean generic though. Yes, headings like, \u201cProducts\u201d or \u201cServices\u201d are familiar, but users aren\u2019t searching for those keywords. You need to find labels, like through Google\u2019s Keyword Tool, that are popular.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thieb website is a good example of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thieb.co\/\">site that\u2019s deviated from generic wording<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14969\" src=\"http:\/\/brandignitybeta.com\/demo\/brandlatest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image-5.jpg\" alt=\"Nav Design\" width=\"850\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Note the navigation bar heading, \u201cReel.\u201d A similar term would be \u201cPortfolio,\u201d but it risks more competition in search results. \u201cReel\u201d is simple, but specific, and focuses on a keyword in the film industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Always remember to pay an excessive amount of attention to your navigation bar. It\u2019s the backbone of your website and you want a strong foundation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lexie Lu is a designer and writer.
