Site ID (Figure 1 & 2)
Site has logo identity on all pages. Good consistency.
Page Name
There is a title on each page.
Major Sections
There are major sections and subsections. Main section is to the left.
Local Navigation
Consistent left bar navigation on all pages with sub links
"You are here?"
About.com is a huge site. The use of breadcrumb helps the user to know where they are at. Breadcrumb application here is defined but there is an error. When I clicked on Computing Technology from the main site it brought me to Figure 1. When computer peripherals was selected, the breadcrumb information was incorrect. See figure 2. About>Electronic And Gadgets>Computer Peripherals
The navigation of the breadcrumb could have been better if it was visually placed about the page name. The eye is drawn to the center of the information page.
I am not sure why is there a white space on the page.
How can I search?
Search and sub search functionalities available. Designer could have ommitted the word go. Again another redundant entry.
