I can still remember the day I discovered the

  • tag. It’s not that I had never used list items before—I had built plenty of bulleted lists. What I discovered that day was that with a little CSS, the
  • becomes one of the most powerful and versatile tags in a web designer’s arsenal. So versatile is the list item, in fact, that you could build and entire website layout out of just
    • tag pairs. Of course, that wouldn’t be semantically correct, but you could do it. This article is a tutorial and a tribute to the amazing
    • .

      Using
    • s for Horizontal Navigation
    • You can use unordered list items to present horizontal navigation buttons and other horizontal lists. When I first moved from table-based layouts to CSS, this was a big shocker for me. It opens up a world of possibilities and it makes your code oh so beautiful and easy to read. Here’s an example of a five-button horizontal nav bar made completely of list items.

  • Pagination Gallery: Examples And Good Practices

    Structure and hierarchy reduce complexity and improve readability. The more organized your articles or web-sites are, the easier it is for users to follow your arguments and get the message you are trying to deliver. On the Web this can be done in a variety of ways.

    In body copy headlines and enumerations are usually used to present the information as logically separated data chunks. An alternative solution is pagination, a mechanism which provides users with additional navigation options for browsing through single parts of the given article. Parts of the article are usually referred to by numbers, hints, arrows as well as “previous” and “next”-buttons.

    Search engines almost always use pagination; newspapers tend to make use of it for navigation through the parts of rather large articles. And there are situations when pagination is also necessary for weblogs. Additional navigation can simplify the access to some site pages — e.g. make it easier for users to browse through the archives of the site.

    In most cases pagination is better than traditional “previous – next” navigation as it offers visitors a more quick and convenient navigation through the site. It’s not a must, but a useful nice-to-have-feature.

    Let’s take a look at the good practices of pagination design as well as some examples of when and how the pagination is usually implemented.

    Good Practices Of Pagination Design
    (7 Aspects according to Faruk Ates)

    1. Provide large clickable areas
    2. Don’t use underlines
    3. Identify the current page
    4. Space out page links
    5. Provide Previous and Next links
    6. Use First and Last links (where applicable)
    7. Put First and Last links on the outside

    • Style sheets freely available for free download: Some Styles For Your Pagination.
    • If your weblog runs upon WordPress you can use WP-PageNavi plug-in to generate pagination “on the fly”. It’s easy to install, however, requires some changes in the source code of your WordPress theme.

    Mistake #1: Navigation Options Are Invisible

    Since pagination’s primary purpose is to serve as an improved navigation, it is supposed to make it clear for the visitors where they are, where they’ve already been and where they can go next. These three facts give users a complete understanding of how the system works and how the navigation should be used.

    But most importantly, the navigation options should be visible. Hugg.com doesn’t follow this guideline. The color of the links has a very low contrast with the white background. The hover-effect isn’t provided.

    Mistake #2: Pagination Isn’t Intuitive

    If you have to decide between a quite complex (but beautiful) pagination and a simple one with necessary functionality always prefer the simple solution. If users don’t understand the mechanism behind navigation they won’t be able to use it and therefore won’t use your web-site.

    Helium.com is a perfect example for this mistake. Take a look at the screenshot below: what do the arrows stand for? For the page you’ve already visited or for the page you are currently on? And why does the link to the second page have a white background color? Why do the arrows have different colors? This is unintuitive.

    Unintuitive designs result from the lack of structure, hierarchy and well thought-out design decisions. “Blank” pagination is as unintuitive as overcrowded design solution.

    Our favourite example: Helium.com

    Not spaced out page links are harder to scan and to navigate through. Make-Believe.org as an example. The design is unintuitive.

    Creative Solutions Can Be User-Friendly

    The more frequently a design element is used, the harder it is for designers to introduce some creative approaches without risking to make the design less intuitive. Consequently, pagination designs have rather a variety of different patterns — revolutionary approaches are used very rarely.

    However, creative approaches can be user-friendly. E.g. Dirty.ru uses a slider-based pagination menu; users can drag it to get more available options, that means links to the older pages of the site.

    Erweiterungen.de, the German version of the official Firefox extensions web-site, provides more navigation options once the visitor clicks on the “…”-button.

    Further navigation options are displayed once the “…”-button is clicked. Erweiterungen.de.

    Gallery

    Although “standard” pagination — linked blue numbers following each other — is very common for most web interfaces, designers tend to experiment with colors, forms, backgrounds and shapes.

    The pagination doesn’t need to look nice aiming to captivate users’ attention; as a part of site navigation it offers users an important functionality and as such has to be used effectively. Still, visual clues can be helpful. In most designs blue and grey colors dominate — colors traditionally used by services.

    Colors and Shapes In Use

    Often designers use colors to highlight the current page and separate it from the other pages. The numbers of the pages are also given a shape: a rectangle, a circle or a button. The current page is usually not linked.

    Pagination With Manual Page Input

    In some cases users can provide the number of the page they’d like to see manually, via the input-element. This is common for paginations with the limited number of options — e.g. in these designs you can’t jump to the last page if you’d like to.
