Global Navigation

The Orcasound web experience needs a global header and footer experience that will cover all web pages and web apps under the Orcasound umbrella. Sub navigation headers and footers may be designed depending on specific navigation needs for web apps, and global navigation may not be present depending on factors such as screen real estate space, information architecture needs, or other circumstances as discussed and decided by UX team members working on specific projects. 

The global header and footer navigation bars need to be responsive for 3 device types: 

1. Desktop

2. Tablet

3. Mobile

A card sort study was conducted, results were presented at the end of 2020, and a site map resulted that has informed the Orcahome redesign. This site map should be applied to the global navigation of Orcasound, and any additions to the map should be the result of UX Research and/or discussions by Global Navigation UX Team members.
