Flat vs. Deep Website Hierarchies - https://t.co/rWuki0pFBo

[Sunny D @sunnydatko]

But IMHO it usually creates more problems than it solves. Consider using other form of navigation instead of a tree (tabs, sub-tabs, menus, etc)

Just say no to tree based navigation (THREAD) 🌲🚫 https://t.co/jUx3zh133k

[Sunny D @sunnydatko]

There are times when using a tree for navigation will work:
-When the tree isn’t too long or deep
-When it doesn’t have a single root
-When the user doesn’t have to click a lot
-When you’ve sorted out “are the containers actually screens?”
-When you’ve exhausted other ideas

[Sunny D @sunnydatko]

7. People don't understand the hierarchies behind tree systems
8. Content is more difficult to discover

[Sunny D @sunnydatko]

4. People don't think hierarchically, making it unintuitive
5. It creates nasty interaction problems when containers also become screens
6. You can't use trees elsewhere in the application or it gets weirdly confusing

[Sunny D @sunnydatko]

Using trees for navigation can create a frustrating experience:
1. It's difficult to locate content, esp in long or deep trees
2. It’s easy to lose the context of whatever you’re looking at
3. It forces you to do a lot of extra clicking (super annoying)
