Paul Hempsall:
What's the general concensus of the direction Introduction pages should
take. I've always been concerned that reiterating the section
navigation
via a barrage of links would be a confusing and disorienting method.
quite the opposite: a barrage of links with a supporting explanation is
better than a barrage of links with none. Providing expanded scent for
navigation labels typically found in the main navigation device is
quicker and easier to use than clicking a bunch of links in the the
hope the resulting page is the one the user wants. I recently test the
main navigation system of a large content rich site and most
participants requested more descriptive information (either through
tool tips or instructional text) to aid in their understanding of how
the site was put together.
Start with Henrik Olsens site: http://www.guuui.com/browse.php?cid=137
See #4 & #5 (both point to Jared Spool's work, but there may be
something else there of interest =) )
kind regards
Terrence Wood.
