left justified navigation is best!

Sometimes something just feels right, and for us at Webreality building sites with navigation lists left-aligned has always felt right from a usability point of view, even if we didn’t have the evidence to prove it.

Well now good old Jakob Nielsen has given us the evidence in a new article: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/navigation-menu-alignment.html.

It’s really obvious when you think about it, but getting all the really obvious things right isn’t always what’s on the mind of the web designer in full blown creative mode.

You need a web design company that values usability above design, because your web site is there to do a job, and that’s to make it as easy as possible for people to interact with you, to help themselves, whatever that means in relation to your site and your business.
