Visual Confirmation
The fifth principle involved with creating an effective web based User-Centered Design accomplishes visual confirmation of the user’s location within a site (Lynch and Horton 2002). Whether it is through links, titles and headings or a breadcrumb trail, the user should always have visual feedback from the site as to their position within the site. This gives the user a frame from which to work from. Knowing a relative or concrete position within a site lets the user feel comfortable and open to the message of the site, it also lends ethos to the site. wikipedia
