Unlike the previous product-centric navigation on nols.edu, this navigation overhaul aims to create a customer-centric experience.

After usability testing several prototypes of the navigation, our team decided on a simple approach that would lead the user through a journey, rather than a mega menu exposing many options upfront.

The simplicity lends itself to a mobile-first approach, improving usability for our growing audience across mobile devices. The new navigation is live and the team is beginning another round of usability testing with key target audiences.

The previous mobile navigation was clunky with several usability issues and technical bugs.

The goal of the new mobile navigation is to lead the user through a journey to discover each type of course offered at NOLS. In these mockups I take you through the journey to discover more about a NOLS Expedition course.
