The navigational structure, logic and consistency of the site

One of the most important aspects of a website is the navigational structure. It is important to have this set up logically allowing visitors to find the content they want quickly and easily and to ensure they know where they are in the site.

The WWF website navigational structure is well set up. To the left of the site, there is a navigational box that has a lot of information that the user can access. Just by hovering the arrow over the white text, a box appears that gives the user a clear indication of what they will link to. This function is carried on through the whole page, hovering over a picture will also bring up a box indicating what the link is.

  1. The layout of the website has a good hierarchy with your eye drawn first to the heading, then to the links down the side and finally to the more detailed information. I also find that the 'whats on' link is a good benefit as you are able to look up when and where events are on with additional information about it.
