[Techniques] No nav bar for Techniques

[shawna-slh]

Context: The redesigned Understanding WCAG docs will have "pager navigation" that links to parent guideline, previous SC, next SC, etc. e.g. Understanding SC 1.2: Time-based Media (which is similar to COGA design pattern navigation)

We're not planning to previous-next on the Techniques pages, because:

• users rarely "walk" the techniques (go from one to the next)
• users usually get to a technique from a list of techniques in an Understanding doc or the QuickRef, and there is some confusion that the "Previous" and "Next" is related to the list they just came from

So, all that would be in that nav bar would be "All Techniques".

In the extended EOWG telecon on 2 Sept, EOWG folks suggested not including the navigation bar in the redesigned Techniques.

For the infrequent situation where users want the list of all techniques, they could get to it from the first linked text "WCAG 2.2 Techniques" (which gets underline with focus/hover) and also from a clear link near the top if the About WCAG Techniques page.

Here are a couple mockups without the nav bar:

• All WCAG 2.2 Techniques https://deploy-preview-33--wai-wcag-redesign.netlify.app/techniques/
• About WCAG Techniques https://deploy-preview-33--wai-wcag-redesign.netlify.app/techniques/about
• Technique ARIA1 https://deploy-preview-33--wai-wcag-redesign.netlify.app/techniques/aria/aria1

You can think about the user flow like Brent explained in the meeting:

• You start from the Quick Ref or the Understanding doc https://deploy-preview-33--wai-wcag-redesign.netlify.app/understanding/non-text-content
• If you went to the first technique, you'd get to Technique G94: https://deploy-preview-33--wai-wcag-redesign.netlify.app/techniques/general/g94

Important: Note that these previews do not include all of the pending updates, such as the page contents box on the All Techniques and About pages. If you have comments on other things, please check with Shawn before creating a new issue - to avoid complicating things for the developer (Michael). Thanks!
