Navigation Best Practices at a Glance

Keep It Shallow

Users shouldn’t need more than 3 clicks to reach any page. Deeper hierarchies frustrate people and increase bounce rates.

Test on Mobile First

Most Hong Kong users browse on phones. Your navigation must work perfectly on small screens before you worry about desktop.

Validate with Real Users

Don’t guess. Run card sorting or tree testing with actual people from your target audience. You’ll find problems you never expected.

Label Clearly

Menu labels should use familiar language. Avoid vague terms like “Solutions” or “Resources” — be specific about what people will find.
