"Usually the main navigation system is your site's organization progressively revealed in visual form. I say progressively, because each level of information in our schematics most often translates to one set of navigation menu options. And while the first level of navigation should show up on every page in our site, putting the entire organazation on each page is likely to add lots of clutter and just confuse our audience. As a result, we frequently reveal each level of organization only when a user selects its "parent" category."

"Your audience will be confident that they can get through your site if they know they can count on a set of consistent links to be there when they need them... Retaining consistency within a navigation system means keeping the location, order, amount, and relative visual characteristics the same throughout the site. A continually moving navigation system with disappearing options is a surefire way to diminish user confidence."
