instock - In my blog post, I was referring to a web page’s main navigation system, not secondary or tertiary systems. As you can see on this page within StartupNation.com, the main navigation is at the top of the page, very much in line with my recommendation.

Dave - Thanks for the feedback! I hope this information is truly useful as you redesign your site.

kimZ - Thanks! Yes, I completely agree. I think Steve Krugg’s book is very useful. Best of luck with implementation of the tips, and let me know of any questions or if I can be of service along the way.

Great tips! Have you read Steve Krugg’s “Don’t Make Me Think?” That’s one of my favorite books on web usability. Don’t know how well I actually implement the tips, but I try!

For a company like us that is re-doing our website over, this information is invaluable. Thanks so much!

Charllie,

Nice idea for a website. Very cool.

In terms of navigation, upon landing on your site I immediately thought that your four phrases “Millions of Songs,” “Share and Download,” etc. were part of your navigation. I tried clicking through and was frustrated that none of these were links.

In the upper right corner of the page of your Music and Playlists pages, you have two similar user-entry search fields. It’s unclear what the difference is between these.

Also, it was difficult to find how to contact you with questions. I finally found two links in your footer, one for “Feedback” and one for “Contact.” However, they both take me to the same exact page. And upon arriving on such landing page, the only option to contact the company is through a non-linkable email address. This should be improved upon by offering multiple options to contact the business.

Hope that this is helpful.
Tom

The information provided in this article. Would you look at my website and give me your opinion. This is a temporary website that I put together to promote an upcoming conference; however, I might keep the current site if I can get some honest feedback on ways to improve it. Thanks.

Hi Tom,

What do you think of our navigation? There are probably some things we could improve upon, but is anything that makes it particularly difficult in terms of usability.

Thanks!
