Skip nav to main content.

Organize your navigation by topic

Do this

Organize your navigation by topic (e.g., checking, saving, loans, etc) rather than by content format (e.g., videos, podcasts, articles, etc).

 

Why

Initially, “users interested in a specific topic usually don’t care in what format the information will be delivered to them” (Avoid Format-Based Primary Navigation).

 

Test

See Cases from Epicurious, The Home Depot and Google by NNGroup
