How can The Navigation Optimiser benefit you?

Our Navigation Optimiser helps you design navigation that is simple, intuitive, and proven to work. By testing with real users, we show you exactly where confusion happens and deliver a structure that supports engagement and conversion.

User informed design

Create navigation based on user intent, not assumptions. Testing with your audience means you get a structure that works in practice, not just in theory.

Clarity and confidence

Two rounds of tree testing ensure your labels and structure are validated, giving you the confidence to move forward backed by evidence.

Proven to convert

A tested sitemap reduces friction, improves findability, and creates pathways that support retention, engagement, and conversion.
