dc.description.abstract | This
paper concerns an investigation by the
authors into the efficiency and user opinions of menu positioning
in web pages. While the idea and use of menus on web pages
are
not new, the authors feel there is not enough empirical evidence
to help designers choo
se an appropriate menu position. We
therefore present the design and results of an empirical
experiment, investigating the usability of menu positioning on
web pages. A four condition experiment was conducted by the
authors. Each condition tested a differe
nt menu position. The
menu positions tested were left vertical, right vertical, top
horizontal and bottom horizontal. The context wa
s a fictitious
online store. The
results, based on statistical analysis and
statistically significant findings, suggest that
the top horizontal
and left vertical positioned menus incurred fewer errors and
fewer mouse clicks. Furthermore, the user satisfaction ratings
were in line with the effici
ency aspects observed. | en_US |
