Clear Navigation is the Key to Good Web Design

Color, images, and custom graphics may be the first thing a person notices when visiting a website. But even the prettiest site will not grab people and get them to stay for very long if it is difficult to figure out how to get to the information they originally visited the site for.

The most important aspect of any website, personal or professional, is clear navigation. Your visitors need to be able to find the links they want without hunting around the site until they become frustrated. There are many ways to arrange navigation in a useful manner. You could put a menu along the top of the page, the side of the page, or both. Try to avoid using drop down menus because visitors may not realize that they need to scroll over the top term to find the link they need. Web Design Glasgow are experts at this sort of design.

Always make sure you have a clear link back to the home page of the site. The other main sections of the site should be listed clearly in a menu that stands out from the rest of the page. Do not hide menu items in graphical elements or rely on visitors to read the site text to find the important links. Place every main section clearly apart in a place where visitors would expect to find the links they need.

Symbian’s Waze Social GPS

symbian-logoWaze is an application for Symbian-powered handsets that provides GPS and navigation features. But Waze stands apart from most GPS systems in many ways. It can provide real time traffic warnings submitted by other Waze users, making it extremely accurate. When you are driving under the speed limit, Waze will ask if there is heavy traffic, then records your answer into their database, helping fellow drivers on the same highways. It is also an ever expanding archive of maps, being that if you discover new roads it also records them and becomes viewable to other users as well. features cute, cartoon like graphics that make it fun to use.

The best part is, Waze is 100% free to use. You can download the application directly to your phone from http://m.Waze.com. The only catch is that Waze does not store it’s maps locally, it relies on your phone’s internet connection, so it is best if you have an unlimited data transfer plan. It means you will also run into some issues when you are out of range of a cellphone tower, which could be a serious problem if you are on backroads and are relying entirely upon Waze to guide you.

Google Search for Windows Mobile

A new version of the Google Mobile Application for the Windows Mobile smartphones has been released. This adds support to the search service for My Location and Google Suggest. Google Suggest minimizes the number of keystrokes you need for a search query by ‘suggesting’ a complete search by offering phrases that can be easily selected. This helps you find what you need faster, and is especially useful for handsets that don’t have a QWERTY keypad or touch screen keyboard. And My Location automatically determines where you are currently so your search results are localized, giving you useful results that correspond to the area you are in.

google_logo_5Google Maps is also integrated with this new ‘suggestions’ system. Working hand-in-hand with My Location, now your localized search results can indicate that they can be pinpointed on a Google Map. By selecting the red pin icon, you will be taken straight to an areal view to help get you where you’re going.

The new application is available for Windows Mobile users, and can be downloaded directly to your phone at m.google.com. This Google service is free, however be aware that your carrier fees will still apply for data transfers connection to the internet.
