As a newbie I'm not sure this is something that the forum can help with as it's not really a technical issue - but I'll ask and see what comes back. I am looking for some feedback on my site as I'm making some changes.
I have upgraded to V9 and am making some changes to my navigation. As I start to sell more products and create more sections I am looking to amalgamate several of my product section navigation links into one section head. For instance, I now have Energy Saving Devices at the top of the list, but this is actually 4 previous sections that I have moved into one (you can see I have kept the 4 sections in the main list to compare which is easier to navigate: Batteries, Energy Monitoring, Light Bulbs and Energy Saving Devices. these will be deleted afterwards).

I read sometime ago, if I remember rightly, that you should always keep your products within 3 clicks of the home page - hence I'm concerned I'm getting a bit far away from that. I know where I am, but then again I know my site and the products in it, but a newcomer to my site doesn't - hence it would be useful to know what someone looking at the site for the first time thought from a fresh perspective. Is the navigation clear? I am looking to have more information on the products, which is why I am moving away from using the extended details section, and will only use that for a larger picture of the item.
Does anyone know of any unwritten 'rules' to governing navigation of products - or any feedback on whether the navigation is clear or too complicated?
Many thanks for any advice,
Dorian.
p.s. I know that some of my About Us pages haven't imported properly into V9 - I am (still) waiting to hear back from Actinic why not.
