Navigation on your website is important - we all know that. As are ‘call to actions’ in the right place. One other aspect of a website that can often play a very important part in the user experience is their comfort in knowing exactly where they are on your website at any time.

This is usually done with navigation and sometimes breadcrumbs (the little bit of nav at the top of the page that shows you where you are).

A website like Amazon does this extremely well considering they have millions of products - you know where you are all the time. And it can be done on any site with a few levels of navigation.

Before you wonder whether it is worth the effort, let me tell you about a man I have followed to work every day this week. He has his satellite navigation displayed proudly in his window. He knows where he is, he must do, he does it everyday, but he still uses the system for a bit of comfort.

And, driving around the town I live in, he’s not the only one.
