Wayfinding and Navigation

Design navigation so that people with cognitive and memory difficulties can find content, understand where they are, and get back to where they were — without relying on memory.

Core Principle

Users should always be able to answer three questions instantly:

1. Where am I?
2. Where can I go?
3. How do I get back?

If any answer requires more than 1 second of thought, the navigation has failed.
