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
