Next and previous

Linking as a navigational aid.

Problem

You need to let visitors move to neighboring pages.

Solution

In addition to the other navigational tools on the page, add previous and next links.

Discussion

For ease of navigation, add a small arrow, or a bracket, such as “>” or “».” These links should be obvious, and placed on the bottom of every page.

If there are several pages in a long series, also add “Page: 1-2-3-4-5-6” links, in which the current page in the series is visually distinctive. Alternatively, you can label the pages as a sequence, “First,” “Second,” “Third,” etc., or by name.
