For sites with only a few pages or categories, this isn’t a hindrance, but for sites with complex information architecture and many sections, this is not an ideal primary navigation menu option without the help of sub-navigation.]]> 2019-05-01 09:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eethansmith/lz9aog9djbk9/wish/355728491 hus14276565 https://padlet.com/eethansmith/lz9aog9djbk9/wish/355728551 A professional web designer is a person who manages to ignore their personal likes and dislikes and creates the layout that satisfies and attracts the audience of the future site.
