2. 1 Different content has different attributes. Identify all the content types (images, text, videos, pages, posts...) and treat them as an evolving thing with its own lifecycle, behaviors and structure. The Principle of Objects
3. Keep your options focused. Too many options overwhelm people, being more difficult to make a decision. 2 The Principle of Choices
4. Present information in layers. Limit the information to allow people to better absorb it. Show only enough information to help people understand what they need. 3 Show the information progressively. The Principle of Disclosure
5. Display examples instead of abstract concepts. Using examples to represent each category helps users to understand the category’s contents better than any description. Garden & Tools 4 The Principle of Exemplars
6. Treat every page of your site as a Landing Page. Tell visitors where they are and what other related content they can find in your site. 5 The Principle of Front Doors
7. 6 Incorporate different classification schemes. People have different ways of looking for information. Cities Films Monuments The Principle of Multiple Classification
8. Do not mix different navigational systems. You cam use more than one system, but each should be focused on one way to navigate. 7 The Principle of Focused Navigation
