How to use this idea

Read our guide on what, why and how to implement

What is it?

A content preview is an image or description that gives users a clue as to what they will find on the following page. It could be a preview of some content, an illustration or even a photograph.

Your nav bar will be users first port of call when exploring your website. By adding content previews to the nav we can help users discover content they may have previously dismissed.

The more enticing the link the more likely it is for a user to follow it.

Why this works

Links with images or descriptions are more engaging and therefore likely to drive engagement across the site.

Things to consider

When implementing this it is important to make sure your nav is still accessible and responsive. Making sure you use compressed images and keeping text content to a minimum will make it easy to browse.
