Web Navigation
Also known as: Website Navigation, Web Browsing Navigation
The process of moving through and finding information on websites, encompassing strategies like following links, using search, scanning headings, and interacting with menus and filters. Web navigation presents fundamentally different experiences depending on access method: sighted users can visually skim pages in seconds, while screen reader users must navigate content sequentially, often spending minutes to reach relevant content. Accessible web navigation depends on proper semantic HTML structure, heading hierarchies, landmark regions, and skip navigation links.
