Content and navigation must be handled together
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008A really common format for sites right now is what l called a “Shell Site”. These sites are where the navigation is developed and then the content is shoved into that format or shell. What he found was that when a user is looking for information, shell sites are very hard to use. Because the links are the same on all navigation within the site, they don’t add anything new once they have been reviewed. Thus, when a user is looking for information, the navigation shell is usually discarded as an information source immediately.
