Bad labeling is when labels aren’t representative of the content and doesn’t separate content in a clear way. What is bad labeling gonna do for your buisiness?
Not help to make a good impression
Waste money
Make the user laugh
Confuse the user
Categorize the content clearly
Create a user-centered design
Labels representing the options in navigation systems. Since navigation systems usually have a small number of options their labels demands consistent application more than any other type of label. They should be formed with consistency and look the same on all pages. Be aware to name navigation systems to in-house (internt). Everybody needs to understand and is prevented by user research. Unclear navigation labels is a waste of money and wont make a good impression. If you use Icon-language they HAVE to be easy to understand.
