What is Website Navigation?

Website navigation refers to the system of menus and links that guide users through a website. Good navigation is essential for user experience, accessibility, and search engine optimization.

Effective navigation helps users find content quickly, improves retention, and can influence conversion rates. A guiding principle, as stated by Steve Krug, is: "Don't make me think."
