'Where on the Internet am I?' Checklist

People don't always land on a home page of a new site. Sometimes they jump to a inner page via search engine links, links in other sites, or email links.

When users land on a page they aren't familiar with, they look for indicators to tell them which site they're on, what the site offers, and where the content that was promised by the link is. They want all that information with minimal effort.

To ensure users aren't lost when they land on your Web page, every page must provides answers to the following questions:

19.2.1. Where is the Content Promised by the Link?
19.2.2. What is This Page About?
19.2.3. Where are the Local Navigation Links
19.2.4. What is the Name of This Site?
19.2.5. Where are the Links to the Main Sections of the Site?
19.2.6. Where is the Link for the Homepage?
19.2.7. Where am I in Relation to the Homepage?
19.2.8. How Can I Search This Site?

Where is the Content Promised by the Link? >>>
