So ...

As I said earlier, the tabbed content is extremely useful and can be used almost everywhere ...

However, there are a few things you should keep in mind while implementing tabbed navigation:

  • first you should outline the information architecture so you can make better tab-related decisions
  • you should use short and predictable category names
  • don't tab together categories that are not similar in nature (in a logical sense)
  • the selected tab should be prominently marked to clearly indicate the current location
  • avoid using multiple rows of (stacked) tabs!
  • you should use and maintain a consistent tab order on each page, otherwise your information architecture could be confusing
  • if is possible, avoid using multiple tabbed solutions with different number of tabs (within the same site)
  • the tabbed content area should be logically connected to the "regular" content area it controls in order to make clear the scope of the tabs

And that's it my friends!

I do have one question....
Will pages / posts end up being redirected? (Does that make sense... I'm somewhat 'computer challenged). LOL
