<\/a>Success Criterion 3.2.3<\/strong> Consistent Navigation<\/h3>\r\nLevel AA\r\n\r\nNavigational mechanisms that are repeated on multiple\u00a0web pages<\/a> within a set of web pages<\/a> occur in the same relative order<\/a> each time they are repeated, unless a change is initiated by the user.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Consistent Navigation Explained<\/h4>\r\nWhen designing a website, keep information that is repeated on every page in the same order.\r\n\r\nContent is easier to find when the location of repeated information is predictable. The phrase \u201csame order\u201d does not<\/i> imply that expanding and contracting navigation menus must be avoided. By adding or removing links between existing navigation links, navigation within a subsection is enabled, and the relative order is maintained.\r\n\r\nConforming to SC 3.2.3<\/strong> helps users predict the location of the content they are looking for and find content more quickly when they encounter it again. Consistencies in site layout are especially helpful to individuals who rely on visual cues or their spatial memory. People with low vision who use screen magnification software consequently see only a small portion of the screen at one time. These users can take advantage of page boundaries and other cues to quickly locate repeated content.\r\n\r\nUsing templates to ensure consistency across a site helps web authors meet SC 3.2.3<\/strong>.\r\n
