Fixing Bad UX Designs

Navigation schema and nomenclature

A navigation schema specifically focuses on the navigational structures and the relationships between these structures present within an interface. A very practical example of this as a deliverable would be: the global navigation (top nav), tool bar, and left rail (in various states) for a product facet search on product pages. These are important to tease out separately from other UI elements for many reasons, one of which is because they need to appear in a style/developer's guide.

You can also analyze the navigation schema in parts:

• Global Navigation
• Primary Navigation
• Secondary Navigation
• Breadcrumb Navigation
• Footer Navigation
