Wayfinding & Navigation
Use this skill when reviewing how users move through a product or service. Focus on helping people understand where they are, what their options mean, and how to reach their goal without getting lost.
Assess Orientation
- Review menus, labels, page titles, breadcrumbs, and progress indicators
- Identify places where navigation language is vague or inconsistent
- Check whether users can easily tell what step they are on and what comes next
- Consider users with low confidence, dyslexia, memory impairments, or stress
Improve Navigation Clarity
- Use clear, specific labels for destinations and actions
- Keep navigation patterns consistent across screens
- Show progress, hierarchy, and available escape routes where needed
- Reduce dead ends and make recovery from wrong turns straightforward
Output
- Highlight places where users may become disoriented
- Recommend changes to labels, structure, and progress cues
- Prioritize navigation improvements that reduce abandonment and support confidence
