Paging is performed when we consider that the amount of information that we will show the user should be divided der, to thereby help you find it, either. But if that is the reason, let us do good to the end huh?.
The page is not just a place below and above, or an endless index pages for the user to the press. As important as the movement between pages is the information displayed in each of these pages. Let’s see the process in several sections.
PAGE
To design a page of results (whether or not search results), we have to think about what the user wants to find. An example is in any auction or sales site. If you are looking for cars for example, the logical thing to us, we the option of ordering the result by price, city, or mileage, and that order must affect the complete pagination, thus help the user find what you want. Ultimately, the result page must, if required, have the option of ordering the results and that this affects the subsequent pages.
LOCATION OF THE PAGE
Once again depends on several factors. The page can be longer or shorter, then it also happens that we can interest the user has made it commercially around the scroll to see everything we are interested in any case will always be at the bottom of the page and highlighted in such a way that is easy to find.
There are occasions on which I also recommend bringing to the top of the page. For example, if a search returns results for me all the artists that I pop, and I’ve got a filter for leaving alphabetically, it does not seem logical to have to swallow the whole of each page scroll up to the point that interests me . In such cases, much easier to have a next to top of page.
WHAT MUST BE THE PAGE?
* Let’s use sufficiently large areas so that users do not have to aim with your mouse to find the link.
* Identify if the current page.
* Enough space between the navigation links.
* Provide options above and below.
* If it is necessary to provide the first and last options.
* I am in favor of informing the user not only what page is, but also the number of results and pages that exist.
* If possible, give the option to move faster. You can choose either the destination page, or making links like “next 10″ or “next 100″ ….
Perhaps the page I liked most was that I found in dirty.ru. Se trata de un sistema que informa del número total de páginas, indica correctamente la página en la que nos encontramos, nos muestra franjas de 15 páginas para trasladarnos, pero además tiene un scrollo para trasladarnos rápidamente entre los resultados, ver ejemplo
Other paging systems give us the option to also choose the number of results you want per page, or move directly to a specific page. For example, in Stock. xchng shows page as we see at the beginning and end of the page and give us the option to choose the amount of performance and mobility to a specific page.
