Hard to Navigate Website

Q:

What makes a photographer’s site hard to navigate?

A:

Sites can be hard to navigate for a few reasons. Sometimes the actual menu options are hard to find because the sit template tries to get too artsy. Or sometimes you can only view images one at a time (no thumbnail view option). 

We’re often trying to image search or curate a page of the photographer’s imagery, so being able to move through the site quickly is important. 

I do appreciate seeing their creative touch beyond just their imagery – so a cool landing page, or some nice touch to the formatting is good. But generally, it should still be easy to navigate.
