I’ve seen some bad ideas in navigation, but this subtle one takes the cake (a nice German Chocolate cake).
Typically when you see navigation, you see a list of links. Click on the link, you go to the next page.
Wrong.
On this particular site (nameless), which was recently redesigned (and nicely by the way), someone came up with the idea of making the site visitor click a button after selecting a link to follow. Mind you, the tooltip tells them to click the button to continue.
I knew I hadn’t updated my blog in some time, but almost a year? Oy!
Shortly after my last blog post, I accepted a position as a front-end web developer at United Airlines in their eCommerce Production area. The great thing is that as a post-merger organization, there’s lots of change, lots of systems and technologies to get my arms around and learn.
It has taken me away from my pursuit of a career position in user experience, but I’m getting schooled in technologies that will aid me in the long run.
I have lots to talk about and share, yet little time to do so. But I promise I will post soon and on a more semi-regular basis. Call it therapy. 🙂
