2. Facilitating Effective User Navigation through Website Structure
Improvement
Designing well-structured websites to facilitate effective user navigation has long
been a challenge. A primary reason is that the web developers’ understanding of how a
website should be structured can be considerably different from that of the users. While
various methods have been proposed to relink webpages to improve navigability using
user navigation data, the completely reorganized new structure can be highly
unpredictable, and the cost of disorienting users after the changes remains unanalyzed.
This paper addresses how to improve a website without introducing substantial changes.
Specifically, we propose a mathematical programming model to improve the user
navigation on a website while minimizing alterations to its current structure. Results from
extensive tests conducted on a publicly available real data set indicate that our model not
only significantly improves the user navigation with very few changes, but also can be
effectively solved. We have also tested the model on large synthetic data sets to
demonstrate that it scales up very well. In addition, we define two evaluation metrics and
use them to assess the performance of the improved website using the real data set.
Evaluation results confirm that the user navigation on the improved structure is indeed
greatly enhanced. More interestingly, we find that heavily disoriented users are more
likely to benefit from the improved structure than the less disoriented users.
