I’m 64; bought my first computer ($25K) at 30; used my first computer at 25; started coding before there were windows icons; am accredited in PR; have owned 3 biz; am female and know tons of us so-called elderly (hate that word, really hate it) who help younger people with computer issues. There was a world before you. 🙂 I could care less about “home” as visiting a site is about looking for the answer to “how to” or similar question. Where home is located is of no importance to me as a user. Give me search with damn good relevant search results.

The websites you are mentioning are well known and popular, and they have different UI. The user experience and their converting option are also different
Amazon for example is based on the search, so it does not need a home button, Apple still uses Home, but its featured as an apple! But lets say you have just started your website and still need to brand your business, it is better to have Home on your menu.

Eric, the thought is that if there is a CTA then the user should not have to scan the page to perform it.

While I get your meaning, designing for the elderly makes little sense and lets face it, most of the people in their 70’s navigating websites started back in their 50’s so they have maintained an athletically learning brain. Dump the home button, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, all have, and they spent millions on researching UX.

After 5 years I decided to resign from my old job and i couldn’t be happier now… I started doing work over internet, for this company I discovered online, few hrs each day, and my income now is much bigger then it was on my old job… Paycheck i got for last month was for 9k… Superb thing about this work is the more time i got to spend with my family… http://korta.nu/MDe

You are so welcome.

I wish I knew my friend. Sorry. That’s a great idea.

No problem 🙂

Thanks for reading.

I am in process of wire-framing my very first web site for developer.

Consider that I sell local service(transportation) based on airport, just to foreign citizens (UK, Germany,Norway,Sweden and USA mainly) problem for now is finding keywords or phrases used on google in their countries so I can be smarter while writing textual part. Problem is that here we use lot of Transfer… something phrases for transportation of people and to all my foreign friends that is just local expression for moving people, they connect that expression with money transfers or something… To whom I have to speak about expressions beside word taxi when trying to find airport transport in foreign country?Thank you in advance.

You are very welcome.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome. Thanks!

Thank you!

You don’t understand the question because the comment is spam with a link to a site looking for referral compensation. Marvin, kick that spammy link out of your comments.

It will affect SEO. The main nav menu plays a factor in bounce rate, time on page, and keywords in URLs. All those things play a factor in search engine page rankings.

I will keep reading your articles so keep posting

You are very welcome!

I just landed on your blog today Marvin and I’ve read about 4/5 of your posts in 30 mins. already.

Good stuff … Thanks!

That is way too many links 🙂 You complicating the experience for your users. I would meet with a professional agency and focus on strategy for user experience, not search engines.Otherwise, your bounce rate will be high, engagement low, length of time on site low….causing google to rank you lower.

Yes I agreed with you this is a great list thanks.

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the comment. No t sure I understand the question.

You could be right 🙂

Hi Takeshi,

Ya, I read some data on that as well. Your data sounds interesting. I mentioned that it’s making a comeback. However, I’m not sold just yet.

You should right an article about it and share it with me 🙂

Thanks Byron

You are very welcome.

Im glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! …and your right. It does depend on the site.

Thank you. You are very welcome 🙂

Thanks dawg.

Hi There,

The blog rule is for most websites, not all. If your blog is a major source of info and is extremely popular, then yes keep it there. Unfortunately, that is not the case for most people.

Good luck 🙂
