How many pages and levels of navigation are recommended when designing a website?
Navigation Structure
To find information, users must navigate 5 vertical levels of pages. A website like this would likely be overwhelming, confusing and difficult to navigate. Regardless of a website's needs, content is always more discoverable when it's not buried under multiple intervening layers.
How many navigation links should be on a website have?
With all of the pages on your website it can be hard to determine which are important enough to be part of the universal navigation. For the sake of SEO and user experience, Orbit Media recommends keeping your navigation limited to seven items at most.
