This site takes a look at the importance of web page layout in usability. It is particularly important to look at navigation elements as well as positioning of content, links, and other standard objects. We also take a brief look at the importance of Navigation structure as it relates to what navigation to have on a page and where.
Web page layout is important for a number of reasons. First, it enhances the user's ability to find content on a page. Second, it reduces user fatigue and stress. Finally, it just looks aesthetically better.
