An Event Apart, Washington, Aug 2018
Names for navigation links are absurd; do they imply that their opposite exists? Does “quick links” mean others are “slow links”? “Useful” imply others are “useless”? “Knowledge base” imply existence of an “idiot hub”? @gerrymcgovern is hilarious in this last session of #AEADC pic.twitter.com/6ARnwSz42v

The core principle of navigation is to move users forward. Not back, or try to change their mind. #AEADC @gerrymcgovern pic.twitter.com/KdlrrjFYZU

“If the label says Vancouver and it brings you to Vancouver, it’s good navigation. If it says Vancouver and brings you to Ottowa, it’s marketing.” @gerrymcgovern #aeadc #ux

A good team removes unimportant/irrelevant navigation links. Strive to simplify. Don’t keep patching onto the nav. It’ll just get complicated.

A link is a promise, a commitment to deliver. @gerrymcgovern #AEADC

If you have a problem with your navigation, don’t patch and add a second navigation. Fix what’s broken. Don’t add! Take away. @gerrymcgovern#ux #usability #design #IA #navigation #aeadc

Anything over 80% is a very good score in navigation design. @gerrymcgovern has never seen 100%, because there’s always 10% of people are weird. #AEADC

“The less time people are focusing on your navigation, the better it is.” – @gerrymcgovern #aeadc

FINALLY! @gerrymcgovern gives real reasons for the "Hamburger menu" typically being a bad way of containing navigation. Using a metaphor that will make sense!

Strip away, once the user has arrived at the destination. If you want to maximize the sale of _____, strip away everything that is not connected with making that purchase. #aeadc @gerrymcgovern
