INTRODUCTION TO MMM CONCEPT<\/strong><\/p>

About the navigation menu in general terms<\/p>

Navigation is widely considered the fundamental element of any website. This is the ultimate guide for users throughout the links of the webpage, which explains why it needs to be simple, clear, and conventional. Its icons are always evident, and most designers agree that it is part of the layout we should be very careful with. Following studies of the navigation menu, we found that \u201cperception\u201d plays a key role. And when we accept that priority, we should make visual understanding easier. Following this logic, horizontal blocks are better than vertical ones, for the simple reason that most of us are accustomed to reading from left to right and not from up to down since early childhood. As a result, horizontal blocks make our natural reaction quicker. However, designers would rightly argue to accept this obvious fact as a rule, because in many cases the structure and the content of the page might justify arranging the blocks in vertical order.<\/p>

Why is the navigation menu untouchable?<\/p>

It is considered a web designer\u2019s rule of thumb that in the navigation menus we should refrain from experimenting with unconventional solutions, as this part of the layout is the ultimate resort for the orientation of the visitor. The blocks are usually the same height and width, and the general scheme is HOME-ABOUT US-PRODUCTS-FAQ-CONTACT.<\/p>

Stakes are high in online marketing. It takes merely a second for the average user to decide to stay or click away from us, and any risk to take inside the navigation bar has to be studied carefully.
Does this mean that the navigation menu is untouchable?<\/p>

Not really, there are too many exceptions to regard this as a general rule. For example, a huge number of websites are designed in synergy with the extended communication strategy of a company or its products. In such cases, giving extra power to the general message is the overall priority.<\/p>

Saxon Media created a solution: the Multiple Message Menu concept.<\/p>

Multiple Message Menus (MMM)<\/strong><\/p>

MMM is a simple and creative concept to support the perception of general communication messages incorporated in the navigation bar of websites. A very typical case is when the user is guided to a web page driven by the fundamental message (for example, an advertising slogan) to the online service of the company. In our concept, we would only use horizontal menus and incorporate the message inside the block.<\/p>

The navigation block is a basic element of the webpage, present in all sections of the site, which makes it an excellent vehicle to boost our message. How does this work? When we start designing, first we need to draw up a conventional menu bar for ourselves, then replace the words inside the icons so that the text, when the user looks at the block, transmits our message:<\/p>

Conventional navigation bar:<\/p>

HOME-ABOUT US-PRODUCT-FAQ-CONTACT<\/p>

From this we can create an MMM navigation bar like this one:<\/p>

MMM-CONCEPT-TARGETS-YOUR AUDIENCE<\/p>

MMM is a concept that should be used carefully, though it is an exceptional opportunity to make our page both more effective and interesting. When MMM is justified, what we will certainly achieve is create immediate attention to the content of our site and to give extra power to our general message.
This might be more than nothing when we have only a second to win the race for the visitors.<\/p>
