APGR72 Week 7 Lecture: Interface and Navigation

For this last week of class we're going to discuss interface and navigation design. This is an all-important aspect of web design since it is the key to accessing the site content. Poor interface and navigation impedes access and frustrates web users. It takes a great deal of thought and planning to design an effective interface and navigation scheme.

I've put together a brief slide show that discusses some of the main issues and offers some basic guidelines for improving navigation/interface. Please make sure you also read the PDF notes carefully — they contain more detailed information. The Week 7 links page also features some good (and not-so-good) examples.
