A website has a left navigation and a bread crumb. The left
navigation is an exact copy of the bread crumb (or the other way
around). They both take up valuable real estate on the screen.
My idea would be to do away with the bread crumb because the visitor
sees at any moment where exactly (s)he is in the website in the left
navigation. By eliminating the bread crumb, the amount of "real
content" would increase by 10% and people would have to scroll less
and less frequently.
Do you guys agree?
Hi Johan,
I'd watch users and see if they use either. I'd be willing to bet they
don't.
Wrote about this in more depth when I suggested that Breadcrumbs (and
their ilk) are basically a design cop-out: http://www.uie.com/articles/breadcrumbs/
Hope that helps,
Jared
