which later published on the web server. Every business have their own website which enables
them to connect with their customer. Website of the soph diamond is made according to the
customer comfort, so that they can easily found things what they are looking for. It is important
that the Website should be usable and in the simplest form otherwise no customer will visit the
website prototype. Some design usable principles are:
To embrace the predictability:
Being creative always gives the opportunity to create something unique which is good at
some extent, but it also confuses the customer to use it. Customer always look for the
navigation that redirects them to from one page to next page. Therefore, it is important to design
a website with simplest navigation rather than unconventional navigation. Website of Soph
diamond consist of the simple navigation tool, so that customer will easily traverse the website.
Do not do over minimalism:
It is seen that minimalism has caught, where every business are seem to reduce their
content instead of this they are using the white space more (Li, 2020). It is good because people
in the market always look for the easiest and rapid work, therefore people demand that there
work should be done in one go instead of waiting for the fancy pages to download. But it is
important to not do over minimalism otherwise there will be no sense for navigation.
The Simplest hierarchical structure:
Efficient and attractive website have the clear and simple navigation menu that consists
of the hierarchical structure. As it navigation menu must involves the each category along with

the sub categories so that consumer will explore the website without any problem. If the parent
categories are extensive then sub categories must be in order. Having a clear navigation will
directs the customer as what company is offering, there is no need for them to go for further
pages. Hierarchical navigation is important for those organizations who are offering the array of
the items and services.
Develop it manageable:
As clear and straightforward navigation will enable the businesses to increase the
usability of their website design. Effective user interface will able to guides the user to tell them
about their way which they have come from, and to show them their current location and to
directs them to their desired location. It usually required the breadcrumb trail feature on the
website, so that user will able to access their location data, it is helpful in creating the navigation
highly manageable (Fimberg and Sousa, 2020). Therefore, for the soph diamond they need to
consider the facts that many users will start from the home page and many directly visit the
inner page, so it is up to them to create a simple user interface, so that customer will control the
navigation.
Involve the sitemap:
For the usable navigation process site map are more important as it will clears the path
of the user. It gives the direct link of all the pages to the lost user and redirects them to the main
page of the website. Site map involves the hierarchy of the web pages so it will give the
overview of the website. Therefore, for usable navigation system it is important to have clear
and concise site map that redirects the customer to the things which they are looking for.
Therefore, for the soph diamond company it is important for them to have the hierarchical
structure of the navigation so it will make their website as usable, it also helps them to increase
the traffic over the website that will be good for achieving their goals and objectives.
Legal Requirement:
It is important for the organization to follow all the legal activities in order to have their
copy right on their website. GDPR (general data protection regulation) are important as it
enables the organization to give the information about the data which they collect, in such the
data can be the customer's interaction with the website or their purchasing records. Soph
