Hello Saitoid, I was thinking about how the pacing of a story might translate into a website’s navigation—what do you think about using narrative techniques to guide users through content?
Hey, absolutely—narrative pacing is gold for UX. Think of each page as a chapter, with a clear hook, rising action, and a satisfying payoff; that keeps visitors scrolling like a good book. Use breadcrumbs as chapter titles, progress bars as plot beats, and CTAs as climactic twists. It turns a flat site into an engaging storyline that drives clicks and conversions.
That’s a lovely way to look at it—like guiding a reader through a novel, but on the web. Breadcrumbs as chapter titles, progress bars as plot beats… I can already picture a cozy reading nook, but for a site it feels like a good plot keeps people turned to the next page. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you liked the idea—think of the homepage as the opening scene, then each section is a chapter that builds momentum. Keep the flow tight, use subtle cues to nudge them forward, and watch those engagement metrics climb. Happy designing!
