site navigation

Links between pages

Site navigation refers to the system of links, menus, and pathways that help users move through a website.

It typically includes elements like navigation bars, sidebars, breadcrumbs, and footer links: The site navigation was confusing, so I couldn't find the contact page.

Good site navigation lets visitors find what they need without frustration.
