IT&T job market climbing to its feet
According to Robert Olivier, Director
of Olivier e-cruitment, the trend started
in mid 2003 when organisations began
to feel more confident with the business
conditions and started rehiring again.
"They are looking once more into
their IT needs and are starting to look
for longer term solutions. Projects
placed in the backburners for the last
two to three years because of financial
constraints are now being studied
again," Olivier adds.

Keep Your Navigation Consistent
 By
Jamie Kiley
One of the single most important
aspects of effective navigation is consistency. Why? There's
a simple reason.
Visitors want familiarity.
They are more comfortable and more trusting if they know things
are going to remain the same from page to page. They have a
certain sense of confidence from knowing what to expect.
If a visitor can quickly become familiar with your navigation,
it's much simpler to actually navigate. And of course, that's
the whole purpose of navigation, right?
Besides familiarity, there's a second reason to be consistent.
It helps your credibility.
Consistency in your navigation helps you present a unified,
cohesive image to your visitors. In other words, you look polished,
well-thought-out, and on top of things. Your visitors get the
impression that you "have it together".
On the other hand, if your navigation is
inconsistent, it reflects badly on you and your company. You'll
look disorganized and unprofessional.
Here are 3 ways to maintain consistency in your navigation:
1. Use global navigation (which is a set of your main links
that appears on every page of your site in the same place).
Global navigation is an absolute necessity. It ensures that
visitors can always get to the main sections of your website
quickly and easily. |
