I decided to study those three websites about the navigation aspect. One of the features that a website should have to make it easy for readers to find information in it is to have a site map. This map will help the readers to know all pages content on the website in a very simple and fast way. The Apple, Nestle, and Volkswagen all have a very good and organize site map. The Apple, Nestle, and Volkswagen websites at the top of their pages contain a table with their menu, and a magnifying glass to find any desired information, but the Apple website does not have just the magnifying glass for questions, it has a guidance of the most repeated questions and every question was classified in its due range, showing ranges such as pick up and deliveries, Safety Measures for open Apple Stores and more. Having a table of contents at the top of the pages is really helpful for the readers. This is specially require if the website is long, since this avoid the readers to scroll down every time they need specific information. Those three websites are also very easy to come to the home page once you are in other page contented on the website. In conclusion, The navigation through the Apple, Nestle and Volkswagen websites is very good, simple, and efficient, but Apple is a little easier to navigate, since the information the website show is more complete than the others.
