Contrast
Make different items look different.
Contrast can draw attention.
2
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
How can we make this more interesting?
3
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Use more contrast
4
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Talk about boring!

McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
This is a quiz! (Not really)
Look again at the previous slide. How many ways can you improve it?Can you put all four principles to work?Next slide shows one possible wayYou can find lots of others
6
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Here’s one way, but there are many other possibilities
7
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
The principles are seen in combination

3. Navigation Design
Navigation design concerns with:Site-level navigation: making it easy for the user to get around the site (global navigation : berlaku utk seluruh halaman web, jika ada menu yg sama brlaku pd bbrp halaman) ingat konsistensiPage-level navigation: making it easy for the user to find things on a page (khusus berlaku utk sebuah halaman contoh:link read more pada berita/artikel yang panjang)

Navigation
Choosing a path through a website’s information space.
Its goals:To help people know where they are in a site,To give them confidence when choosing where they want to go next.
11
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Navigation: connections
Good navigation builds on good content organization
Choose a navigation system that reflects the content’s organizational structure
Visual design and navigation design are interrelated
Choose visual navigation elements that build context for a user
12
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Navigation: connections
When creating site-wide navigation, you are bringing together the knowledge you have collected about users and their tasks and about how users personally organize the content.
13
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Navigation
A navigational system is a visual representation of an organizational structure
14
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Three types of navigation systems
HierarchicalDerived from hierarchical organizational structure
Ad hocHyperlinks
DatabaseSearch engines
The most common is hierarchical, with many ad hoc links added
15
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Rare to use only one
Most websites build on a judicious combination of these three, with one dominant themeHierarchical plus hyperlinks very common
16
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Hierarchical navigation
Implements a hierarchical organization system and provides users with a top-down view of a site.
17
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
A pure hierarchy is rare
We add links to facilitate moving around the hierarchy without going all the way to the top; note extra links at bottom level
18

Global navigation
For a small site, it may be possible to show the major links on every page
Global navigation
20
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Global navigation bar can be vertical

McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Showing more levels in the hierarchy
Drop-downs or pull-outs can show the next level
22
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Breadcrumbs show user “This is where you are how you got here” jejak

23
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Many sites have subsites masuk ke website lain

Ad hoc links
Ad-Hoc systems serve a hypertext organizational structure.
Ad-Hoc navigation systems are additional links that can help to make connections required by the content’s relationships.
25
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Ad hoc links are very common
26
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Ad hoc links
27
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Database navigation
It provides a bottom-up view of a site.
A database navigation permits users to find desired information while downloading as few pages as possible.
28
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
The most familiar example of database navigation: Google harus input words

Building Context
It means helping users understand where they are and where they are going next.
Careful use of appropriate navigational elements help built context.

Be careful with metaphors: what do these mean? multi interpretasi
37
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Intended meanings. Moral: add words, too!
38
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
So add words!
39
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
So add words!
40
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Some standard meanings
Label and meaning Home: the main entry point of a Web site, generally containing the top-level links to the siteSearch: find related pages by supplying a word or a phraseAbout Us: information about the company that created the siteShop: browse for merchandiseCheck Out: supply shipping and billing information, complete transaction
41
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Menus pack in a lot of information; note the dropdown from Software
42
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Site maps
TextualTakes work For a big site, must be selective
GraphicalCool—for a small site.
A site map is no substitute for good navigation

Frames
A frame is an area of the browser window that stays visible as the user moves from page to pageA simple way to provide global navigationBut hogs screen real estate: you can’t do anything else with that spaceMay not printHard (impossible?) to bookmarkUsed much less often than formerly
46
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Built-in browser services
History of pages visitedBack buttonForward buttonColor coding of links
UnvisitedVisitedActive
Don’t mess with the convention that blue is an unvisited link.

Page-level navigation aids
Remember proximity, alignment, consistency,contrast: make the layout obviousMake size of text box appropriate to the amount of data (How many forms have you filled out where some box is MUCH too small for what you have to enter? What were those people thinking?)Show which fields are required, with * or Required optional dan mandatoryMake button placement consistent: before or after its associated text
48
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Page-level navigation aids
49
McCracken & Ayres Copyright © 2004 by Prentice Hall
Make error reports clear
Say explicitly what the problem wasPerhaps change the color of the offending boxShow as many errors as possible on one page; don’t make user correct one error per attempt to send the dataDon’t make user re-enter correct dataSounds obvious, huh? Then why are so many forms terrible?Sales are lost at this point, in big bad quantities
call out box,error langsung ditunjukkan
