It’s on every page of your website. But when was the last time you took a close look at it?

Your website navigation has a big impact on results. It affects rankings (search engines scan it) and it affects usability (every visitor looks at it). It’s a key factor in website performance. No doubt.

This 9-point checklist for website navigation is packed with research. It takes minutes to review, but covers the big topics:

  • Which navigation labels are most helpful for visitors
  • Which navigation labels to avoid
  • What kind of drop downs work well (and which don’t)
  • How to write (and design) a header call to action.
  • Examples of good and bad menu choices
  • How to check the performance of your website navigation.

Here’s what that last tip looks like.

Scan through these tips with your website open in the background. You’ll find simple tips for quick changes that might be permanent improvements.
