Left, Right, Top, Bottom Navigation?
Posted on April 23rd, 2006 in Usability | 1 Comment »
Does it matter? Do users care? Any worthy research?
Conclusions: (1) Top left is probably best although the research seems to indicate that it doesn’t really matter. (2) Consistency from page to page is a good thing.
Good list, Leisa!

That is not true. Top nav shows to be the least successful whereas Left or Right shows the roughly comparable results according to Kingsburg, J.R. and Andre, A.D. (2004). “A comparison of three-level web menus: Navigation structures. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting”
