the main navigational menu should have a consistent placement, preferably in the upper-left section of the website (for vertical navigational menus) or directly underneath the logo near the top of the page (for horizontal navigational menus).
3. Importance of text
a. Text for Navigation

When creating a website, it is important to constantly provide feedback to the visitor regarding their current location. There are several ways to go about doing this.
Use “breadcrumbs”; breadcrumbs provide a path for the user to follow back to the starting/entry point of a website and are often displayed horizontally at the top of the content area on a web page.
5. Site Map
a site map should list all of the relevant hyperlinks of a website
