Navigation Axure Prototype
Project Summary:
Future project redesigning navigation on the website. Testing the viability of the new design. Testing the findability of previously hard to find items throughout the site/app.
The Challenge:
With the redesign of navigation, the teams goal was to create a true navigation menu experience, and to place items in where they could be found where the users would expect them to be.
The Solution:
The navigation menu was chunked into specific sections of related menu items. Menu items would then have sub items in an accordion sub menu.
The Results:
Users reported that the interface was easily accessible. All participants were able to navigate the menu easily. Two of the items were still hard to locate by a majority of users, so further tuning will need to be completed to assess the value of moving these items to a better location.
