Which navigation bar is better?

Top navigation

Works well when there are not too many navigation items. Consider using primary top navigation for small, medium, and large websites, e-commerce, and web applications that don't have a hierarchical structure.

Why is the bottom navigation bar important?

Importance. The bottom navigation bar aligns with the “thumb rule of design”. It acts on the principle, that most app users scroll and navigate apps using their thumbs. Hence, the primary and significant screens and pages within an app should be easily accessible by a user's thumb.

What is the side menu called?

The Android mobile operating system also uses the term "drawers" to refer to a type of sidebar menu widget, usually accessible by swiping from the left edge of the screen.

Should navbar be on left or right?

Menus and navigation have traditionally been on the left, but many sites choose to put them on the right so that the content can have focus (on the left). So even on PC's there is no clear side which navigation should be on.

What is bottom menu bar?

Bottom navigation bars display three to five destinations at the bottom of a screen. Each destination is represented by an icon and an optional text label. When a bottom navigation icon is tapped, the user is taken to the top-level navigation destination associated with that icon.

Should a web site deviate from the standard horizontal navigation across the top or vertical navigation down the left side?

Mistake #1: Non-Standard Style

Visitors expect to find horizontal navigation across the top or vertical navigation down the left side. Putting your navigation in standard places makes your site easier to use. That means a lower bounce rate, more pages per visit and higher conversions.
