Non-linear Structure: Unlike orderly graphical system applications, web applications consist of pages that can be linked in various ways, creating a more complex and non-linear structure.
User Freedom: Web users have the freedom to navigate between screens in any order, potentially leading to a less predictable user journey.
Usage Problems:
Mental Load: Users often face a heavy mental burden when navigating websites. The decision-making process of choosing which links to follow can be overwhelming.
Spatial Disorientation: Users may experience a feeling of being lost or disoriented when navigating a website, especially if there are too many links or unclear directions.
Information Overload: Pages with numerous links, unclear meanings, and insufficient context make it challenging for users to determine the relevance of each link to their task.
Lack of Clarity: Links may not provide enough information about their destination, making it difficult for users to understand where they lead, how much information is available, and how it relates to the current page.
