Text Links: from the front page and sectional pages to every page in the system to enable Web search engines to "spider" and index content on every page.
Image Map: with a brief word or two indicating each page - or, in larger sites - each section of the website. We use server side image pages to make it easy to expand the site at a later time without having to change the coding on each page of the site.
Side Menus: with text links are especially useful on larger sites of 6 pages or more. They can allow more detail than a bottom image map, and can enable visitors to see from any page how to get to any other. These may be white or light-colored over a dark left-side color or pattern, or black or dark over a light left-side color or pattern.
Side Buttons: Our navigation buttons are programmed with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to load very quickly without sacrificing quality. We then embed them in Server Side Includes (SSI available on our "Apache" servers) to minimize future maintenance cost and time by using one file to control the navigation on all pages.
Frame System: where, typically, a scrolling menu remains on the left side to provide navigation. We do not recommend frames in most situations, since they are a design disaster. They do not always print out, cannot be book marked easily, and often make the page design look "tacky" with their ugly gray scroll bars. In a very few cases, they are useful:
Search Engine: is useful on larger sites of 20+ pages to help visitors quickly find information.
