I was designing a web page, a simple site with a hero image with a top navigation on top of the image. While trying to figure out the best option for displaying the link when it is active (so you're on the page that the link goes to) I stopped and asked myself - do I need this?
Usually, and in my case, pages will display a page title anyways, which along with the content will clearly show the user what page they're on.
So my question is, does highlighting the active link, specifically in a website navigation, enhance the user experience or make the site easier to use?
