Discussion on browsing design method of Web page content

For a content page article, if the content of the article is too long or there is a category (ranking), then the page reading is undoubtedly the best choice.

If the content of an article does not involve categorization, such as a novel class, then the page number is displayed in the normal way, because the content is coherent and unlikely to exist. The possibility of skipping the middle content directly to read the following:

But what if an article involves categorization? For example, a very common digital rankings and so on, where the content of the article is related to the classification (ranking), this time should consider changing a page number or add a preview of page content to show it?

Because the list of things is actually made up of a single, self-contained content page, the first and second names are two complete independent bodies, but they are pooled together for the reason of the list, and there is no problem if you skip the second one and read the third place directly.

As shown above, the whole article seems to be a complete whole, but the contents of the inside there are classified reading.

If there is no such thing as a preview of the content below this page number, how can the user know what is being shown in the article? Users can only be viewed on a page-by-page, so that the user is always in a passive state.

However, when there is such a preview of the content of the navigation, the user's reading experience is completely different. Through such a complete and clear preview navigation structure, the user can not read the full text in advance of the content to be presented in this article, when you see the preview of the navigation of the user can determine whether the article still have to read down the interest, You can also skip over content that you already know or don't want to know, and stay focused on where you're interested.

The content of a page with preview navigation will be much more impressive than the page number navigation that simply arranges page numbers. Because users can skip those "pan" and go straight to their "fine", the pan-information and extracted information to the user left the impression that there is a huge difference.

That's a big reason why RSS feeds can be popular.
