Navigation plays an important guiding role in the website. An excellent navigation design can make users find what they need quickly, and make users clearly understand the structural framework of the website, which plays an important guiding role. The following are some common forms of web navigation: 1. Top navigation.
Top navigation is widely used in websites in various fields. This kind of navigation allows users to quickly find what they need at a glance. The design of top navigation is conservative but purposeful, which can ensure the reliability of organizational structure and reduce the time cost of user search. However, this kind of navigation has a disadvantage. When there is too much content on the home page and the screen needs to be scrolled, the user needs to scroll to the top and then switch the navigation content. Therefore, many top-designed navigations now have the effect of fixing navigation on top navigation, which reduces the user's use cost.
The navigation design at the top has many styles, mainly combining logo, login and search box to form various effects, as shown in the following figure:
The design of the top navigation is mature and steady, and it is quite satisfactory, but it is not easy to cause big problems, so the usage rate is also relatively wide. Everyone who knows me knows that I use cicada as my website. The following figure shows the definition of head navigation in the background interface of cicada system, which can be combined in many ways to display the effect in the foreground.
2. Side navigation
Sidebar navigation has many design forms, which can be expressed in many forms, such as dynamic and static, large and small, and more personalized. Fixed sidebar navigation design is not recommended, especially wide sidebar navigation, which will affect the width of the whole web interface. Designers can consider making the sidebar into a sliding display mode, which not only saves the space between websites, but also is more concise.
In the design of sidebar navigation, we should pay attention to the width of navigation bar. If the font in the navigation bar is too long, there will be some problems in the display, even if it is made into a sliding display, it will not solve the problem well. The copied website is not suitable for this kind of navigation. There should be more secondary navigation columns in the sidebar, so this kind of navigation is mostly suitable for some designers or individuals in official website. Of course, there are also some websites with simple structure that will adopt this kind of navigation.
Official website, the fashionable dress of theHOUSE below, simplifies the content of the sidebar as an element and puts it on the side. It looks unobtrusive, does not occupy an empty room, and also plays a decorative role.
3. Bottom navigation
The application of bottom navigation is not very extensive, but it appears in some activities or personalized websites. In fact, the wide application of bottom navigation is not on the pc side, but on the mobile side.
In pc, the bottom navigation usually adopts a fixed way. This kind of navigation can reduce the cost of users, but for websites with complex structure, websites with secondary or tertiary navigation are not suitable. Secondly, putting navigation at the bottom is not particularly good for users' habits. The user's eyes browse from top to bottom and from right. This design challenges users' habits.
So there are many websites where the folding navigation will be placed at the bottom and the second screen navigation will be fixed at the top, such as forhGym sports website.
4. Hamburg navigation
Hamburg-style navigation, like bottom navigation, often appears on the mobile side. But now many pc terminals like Hamburg-style navigation design more and more. This design saves time, which is equivalent to making navigation a hidden design or a pop-up design, which is very design-oriented.
The Hamburg navigation on the website of STUDIOJT Korea Design Studio has a certain sense of design.
Although Hamburg navigation can have many designs, it can also be very personalized. But for some users, Hamburg navigation is not so intuitive, especially when the navigation structure is not clear. Designers should still consider this kind of navigation.
5. Scroll navigation
Scroll navigation includes horizontal scrolling and vertical scrolling.
Horizontal rolling
Horizontal scrolling means that the content scrolls in the left and right horizontal directions. When users encounter this type of website for the first time, the experience will be poor, because its physical and visual movement direction is different from the conventional vertical scrolling. Moreover, when you use the mouse wheel to scroll, its horizontal scrolling from left to right will make users feel misplaced in the interaction, which is actually not particularly friendly. So there are actually not many such websites, but there are also a few that do well.
Look at the interface effect of official website, the ancient costume is fragrant.
In fact, in order to prevent users from experiencing bad horizontal scrolling, we can add left or right arrows in the interface design to give users a psychological hint, which can reduce the sense of suddenness.
Vertical rolling
Vertical scrolling is widely used in html5 web pages, and many designers like to use this design. By combining some animation effects with vertical scrolling navigation, new visual effects can be achieved. Let's take a look at Denso brand website official website, which has many special effects.
The above navigation methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but no matter which one, since navigation is navigation, it should play the role of finding what users need quickly and conveniently, and improve the usability and operability of the website. It's not fancy navigation but good, and users often like concise and eye-catching navigation. This is the design principle of navigation!
The above introduces several common navigation design styles. Let's talk about what we should do before designing navigation:
1. Prepare: comb the navigation structure.
The header of a website often includes logo, navigation, search box, language, login registration, slogan, 400 phone number and so on. So much content can't be put into the website, so we need to plan these contents and make some appropriate choices before designing the website.
2. Analyze the website style and determine the specific style of navigation.
After determining the content of website navigation, we can list this information, analyze the overall style of the website and the best user experience, and determine the form of navigation.
3. Design scheme
After determining whether the navigation form is top fixed navigation or bottom fixed navigation, we need to combine and arrange the determined navigation contents. Choose the best design scheme.
In the design process, we should follow the design principle of user experience first to ensure the readability of the content and the optimal interface design.
I believe that a good navigation is an important step for the success of the whole website. It is not easy for designers to design different navigation according to the needs of different websites. There is no end to learning. Let's join the ranks of designers.
How to make a concise Html5/ Web navigation bar?
1. We make a navigation bar according to the navigation bar shown below.
2. First, let's look at the principle of this.
nav & gt
p & gt
A href = "index.html"> Li> home page/Li & gt/a & gt;;
Ahref = "#"> Li> Magazine/Li>
/a & gt; Ahref = "#"> Li> Login/li > /a & gt;
Ahref = "#"> Li> Shopping Center/Li & gt/a & gt;;
/p & gt;
Nav, according to this format, you can make the navigation bar you want.
How is the navigation map drawn?
Usually we use navigation in two scenarios: one is to use map software on computers or smart devices to navigate; The other is to use more professional car navigation or hand-held GPS. From the collection of maps to the final application in navigation software, the whole process will involve interdisciplinary knowledge such as cartography, geography, remote sensing technology and computer science. We tried to explain the whole painting process in plain language. But before that, we must first understand two concepts. Gis: Geographic information system, that is, geographic information system. Generally speaking, the actual geographic information such as topography and architecture is converted into digital mode, and these digital information can be stored, analyzed, managed and calculated. Poi: point of interest, that is, point of interest. POI can be houses, shops, mailboxes, bus stops, etc. The traditional method of geographic information collection requires map surveyors to use precise surveying and mapping instruments to obtain the latitude and longitude of a point of interest, and then mark it down. GIS and POI are two indispensable information that constitute a navigation map, and these information are displayed hierarchically on the map. After the layers are superimposed, the process of expression is displayed. Different targets are applied to the map, and the overlay layer is different. For example, if you want to view a satellite map, you can select "Satellite Layer" to display it directly. ● Map data can be divided into the following categories:
1. Basemap data: Basemap is the most basic graphic data and some related additional information in the map. There are three sources of base map data: official map: map manufacturers buy authoritative maps published by them from the government Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. On-site mining: On-site mining means that surveyors use professional instruments to obtain data in the on-site environment. This kind of field excavation has high accuracy and credibility, but its disadvantages are high cost and long period. Aerial photos: shoot or buy high-precision aerial photos or satellite photos as the base map data. This kind of map data is adopted by most map manufacturers. At present, the accuracy of aerial photography or satellite maps can reach more than 0.05 meters, which is enough for all map manufacturers.
2.POI data: The concept of POI data has been explained above, and only the source of POI data is discussed here. Collect with data collection vehicle: manually mark the data after collection. This method is suitable for large-scale collection and labeling, with high efficiency and low cost, especially for shops and places along the street. It is one of the main collection methods of data acquisition suppliers at present. Full-time or part-time staff use smart devices such as mobile phones to collect: it is a supplement to the previous collection methods and is more suitable for the frequently changing business locations. Address reverse coding: this method uses algorithm to locate and mark the house number. The advantage of this method is low cost, but its precision and accuracy are not high. Obtained from the network or enterprise: These POIs are directly crawled or purchased from professional websites. Some enterprises can also use these open API services to serve their Internet products. POI data does not need many qualification restrictions, so there are many more people waiting to provide POI data than the underlying data providers. For example, Tuba is a major POI data provider.
3. Other data: Other common data layers include traffic condition layer, satellite layer, three-dimensional layer and street view map. Traffic maps mainly rely on GPS installed in taxis to collect real-time data, or collect traffic information through professional equipment such as laser velocimeter, camera and radar velocimeter. Three-dimensional layers mainly rely on laser scanning and manual modeling. Street view is shot on the spot. After data processing obtains these data, it is necessary to model them. At present, there are two modeling methods: vector model and grid model. After processing the map data, the whole map making is basically formed. Map manufacturers need to test the completed map on the spot to ensure the integrity and reliability of the map. Finally, these original map data are processed and audited by relevant departments. After passing the examination, the electronic map can be published publicly or sold on the Internet. At this point, the whole map making process is basically over.
How should the navigation of the website be set?
Click "Tools" in the menu above the browser, select "Internet Options", fill in the URL navigation in the blank space of "Home Page" in the pop-up dialog box, and click "OK". This is the way to set IE. There are also 360 browsers, Sogou browsers, Maxthon browsers and other methods are different. The method is almost the same, you will understand!
How to set up web navigation?
This is a good setting, just use the list directly! All you have to do is add a width to the Li label!
