A navigation menu might not be a make-or-break deal but it definitely has a colossal role to play in driving and converting the traffic on your website. It's all in the details and well, it is a cliche for a reason.
When Jon MacDonald highlighted 'never underestimate the importance of your e-commerce site's navigation menu' we decided to have our expert throw some light on a subject that often gets overlooked..

- 50% of visitors use navigation menus to orient themselves on a site
According to a study by the Nielsen Norman Group, 50% of website visitors rely on navigation menus to find the information they're looking for.
What does it imply? A well-designed navigation menu can have a significant impact on how users interact with your site.
