web navigation

Clicking through pages

Web navigation refers to the process of moving through and between pages on websites, typically by clicking links, using menus, or entering URLs.

Good web navigation helps users find information quickly and understand where they are within a site's structure.

The term also describes the design elements—like navigation bars, breadcrumbs, and sitemaps—that facilitate this movement.

The site's confusing web navigation made it hard to find the contact page.
