Skip navigation

Provide navigation mechanisms in a clear and consistent manner.

(see guidelines for overcoming access barriers)

For example, navigation links should appear at the same place between pages.

Take time to move through this website. You will see that the level one navigation (links on top row of page) remains constant throughout the site, whilst the level 2 navigation will always be found in the same place on the left-hand side of the page. Using consistency decreases the confusion some users experience when visiting websites.
