Use Familiar UI Patterns

Users spend most of their time on other sites. They expect yours to work the same way (Jakob's Law).

Incorrect (custom unconventional navigation):

function Nav() {
  return (
    <nav>
      <button onClick={() => navigate("/")}>⬡</button>
      <button onClick={() => navigate("/search")}>⬢</button>
    </nav>
  );
}

Correct (standard recognizable patterns):

function Nav() {
  return (
    <nav>
      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
      <Link href="/search">Search</Link>
    </nav>
  );
}
