Few years back i read an article that information should be available within 3 click and there is ambiguity regarding same to limit it to 3 click or more.
Let us say i want to show same information to user is two ways
Option 1:
- Project Category List Page: This page has list of categories.
- Project Sub Category List Page: This page has list of Projects Sub category.
- Project list page: This page has list of all projects and we show about 12 projects on this page and if there are more than 12 projects then user has to navigate to other pages to find the projects.
- Project Details Page: This project has details related to the project
** So in option one user have to click to go through at-least 3 pages before he can see the actual project related page
Option 2
Project Category List Page: On this page i will have Multiple dropdown so that user can filter information based on Project Category
, Project Sub Category
and sort information in Year
.
**To me this page is better option as user can filter information and get find related projects quickly.
So which approach is recommend and should we limit number of click as lot of users now a days use mobile phone to access website and navigating from page to page can be a bad user experience (This is my opinion)
Which is best way & recommended way
