1.1. Provide at least two of the following navigation methods: main menu, site map, and search engine

At least two of the following three navigation methods must be available in the website:

  • A main menu.
  • A site map that shows the structure of the website, and at least allows the user to access all sections and functions of the website.
  • A comprehensive search engine that provides a search on all the content (text, documents, videos, etc.).

These items should be available in the same place on each page throughout the website.

Remarque

You can, of course, choose to have all three navigation methods in the same website.
