[New Tip] Design tip no4 - Clear navigation #740

Open dboudreau opened 8 years ago

dboudreau commented 8 years ago

Reference: http://w3c.github.io/wai-quick-start/designing.html#provide-clear-and-consistent-navigation-options

The tip currently reads: "Ensure that navigation across pages within a website has consistent naming, styling, and positioning. Provide more than one method of website navigation, such as a site search or a site map. Help users understand where they are in a website or page by providing orientation cues, such as breadcrumbs and clear headings".

I propose the following edits: "Ensure that navigation across pages within a website has consistent naming, styling, and positioning. Provide more than one method of website navigation beyond the main navigation menu, such as a site search or a site map. Help users understand where they are in a website or page by providing orientation cues, such as breadcrumbs and meaningful headings".

I really like these suggestions! Wished we had you on board during the development of these tips... :)

But again, I fear opening a can of worms here before we've completed the remaining tips first? See similar response for issues w3c/wai-website#739 and w3c/wai-website#738
