What the standard says
More than one way is available to locate a web page within a set of web pages except where the web page is the result of, or a step in, a process.
Why it matters
Not everyone navigates by menu. Search, a sitemap, or breadcrumbs give a second route.
What a failure looks like
- failsA deep site with a single mega-menu and no search.
How to fix it
- doAdd search, a sitemap, or breadcrumbs. Any two routes satisfy this.
