10 Things Any Web Developer Worth Their Spit Should Know
"Navigation
A website’s navigation plays a key role in the success or failure of a site. It allows humans and search engines alike to easily locate the desired information. Or it doesn’t. Navigations made up of Flash or JavaScript/DHTML may seem attractive at first, but ultimately can cripple a website by not allowing search engines to crawl and index the entire site. In addition, viewers that choose not to partake in these technologies can be left with no means to move within the site.
Most experienced webmasters have left such navigations back in the 90’s with all those AOL discs."
