The So-Called Rule of Five

Com, May 18, 2001

Really good advice from Jeffrey Zeldman's new book. Basically, the principle is that a site should benavigable in five main areas or fewer. In other words,avoid the temptation to put everything on the front page. Create major areas of interest, then subdivide in deeper category specific pages (again, following the rule of five).
