Navigation: Be Consistent: Blog #4

In the book, “Prioritizing Web Usability” written by Jakob Neilson, it discusses how consistency is a fundamental concept in navigation. Keeping a consistent navigational structure helps people visualize their current location and options, and minimizes guesswork” (Neilson 178). I thought this was interesting because I get really aggravated when websites’ navigation changes when linking to different pages. Either the back button stops working or you cannot exit the page. It makes me very frustrated as a user when this happens. It would make me happy if on every webpage the navigation would be the same.
