Like a store, there is no clerk to explain the map of the website to you. The “search” functionality fulfills this purpose.
Difference between real world and web world:
No sense of scale: In real life, we can have a rough estimate of how large a store is. But a website could have huge corners we have no idea about seeing the home-page. We can’t tell how large a website is, usually.
No sense of direction or location in websites as opposed to the real world.
Don’t use breadcrumbs instead of page name!
Tabs are a great way to show a user where he/she is. The chapter talks about some reasons why tabs are great. Also, tabs were probably invented by Leonardo Da Vinci.
