Naview – Design and Build Navigation Prototypes

Naview is a service that helps you to create design and build navigation prototypes easily and allows you test the usability of your built navigation by providing it to users.

This application is just perfect for professionals like architects, web designers, and business analysts whose job profile includes designing and trying out new and large website structures.

Naview lets your design and create navigation prototypes swiftly, it provides you with the ability to create drop down menus without using any kind of coding, which makes it useful for even novices. The interface allows fast working and designers can quickly test and revise their navigational structures.

Once you are done creating the initial stage you can also interactively edit and review your navigation as you go on building the prototype, there are multiple ways of visualising your navigation. Apart from the above you can also very efficiently import taxonomy from spreadsheet or text file.

There are two basic ways of testing out the navigation prototype that you have created, one way of doing it is by evaluating the prototype yourself and the other way is by providing it to users and finding out how well your prototype works with them.

You can easily test your navigation prototypes locally with multiple users without any kind of distractions, apart from evaluating your prototype locally it can also be done remotely by using surveys with remote users, after your are done with the testing you can visually analyse and view all the survey results generated.

Naview, currently in beta, is a partially free service by Volkside. This tools stands out from the rest by providing a hierarchical representation of your prototype, is displays a tree like structure of your design.
