How often do you use the nav bar? I’ve been to countless site redesign meetings where the least visited parts of the site are section fronts. And how do you get to a section front? The nav bar. Which, I believe, has seen better days. The best example of this is Gawker media sites. You won’t find any traditional navigation at www.gawker.com. You won’t find a nav bar! What you’ll find is stuff to read –quick reads, that link to longer reads. If your interested in more, look for the topic navigation at the bottom of each article. Topic navigation is where it’s at. Interested in more of the same? –Or kinda, sorta of more of the same? Use topics; they’re right there, at the bottom, leading the way to a better web experience.
