Internal page navigation

Internal page navigation

Internal navigation is a type of local navigation that helps users move quickly within a long webpage. These are links that let you jump from one section to another without scrolling. For example, if a page has different sections like "Introduction," "Features," and "Contact Us," internal navigation links can take you directly to each part. This is handy for saving time and getting straight to the information you need.

It is best used as a table of contents displayed at the top of a long webpage where it can provide an overview of the webpage's content and structure, giving users a clear idea of what information is available and where it is located.

However, internal navigation has its drawbacks. It uses valuable screen space and can confuse users expecting to be directed to a new page. Use it judiciously to avoid confusion and frustration for users.
