Design and Navigation

My initial thought when designing my website and the navigation around was to keep my website simple. My target audience would be women aged between 15 and 35 who would be interested to read about dating and fashion. I would target women on breaks from work who don't have a long time to navigate around a difficult site.

I thought, because of my own experience and that of my friends, that menu buttons that were clear and concise would be the best way to navigate around my website. These menu buttons would link directly to other pages as well as back to the home page so that the reader would not have to go back through all the other pages if they wanted to get somewhere else. All of the pages on my site lead directly back to the home page.

It was also very imortant that my navigation was thoroughly thought out and simple. Below is a rough idea of how I planned my website navigation. I wanted all of my pages to naturally follow on from the one before, and thought that my plan acheived this successfully.
