May 28, 2001Leaving and Coming BackNielsen (Designing Web Usability, p. 66): The "rhetoric of departure" and the "rhetoric of arrival." (1) Warn the users when a link will take them away from the site where they are. (2) Situate the users in the context when you control the page (make it clear why they are where they are). There's a connection to the literature of interior design -- the uses of doors, doorways and windows, hallways, stairways, foyers, porches. The connecting architecture establishes relationships between the rooms. Never leave the user asking (like David Byrne), "How did I get here?" Comments
