Column-based Navigation

When to use

Column-based navigation is ideal for navigating through a hierarchically organized information space, where users often go back and forth between different levels of the hierarchy.

(TODO: Image)

How to use it

General

  • Use one page/column for each level of the hierarchy (or more generally, for each step of the navigation).
  • Pages can for example be Lists or Grids, or a detail view of a particular item.
  • Make sure to set meaningful page titles, so they can create a useful breadcrumb trail

Desktop/tablet-specific

  • Consider using multiple-width columns where you need more horizontal space to present the content of a column properly
