The e-Shop site navigationif a site is not designed with usability in mind,
people will be frustrated with the site. People that are frustrated with the site dont bookmark, dont buy, dont revisit, and wont tell other people about the site.
(Rhodoes, 1999)
S ite navi gatio n is aided by:A site i ndex;
A site search e ng ine;Logical seque ncing of f acilities with clear li nks tothe next sta ge i n a ny rocess.
