Gerry McGovern has written about the value of clear navigation menus. To quote:

Good web navigation is unsubtle. It is clear, precise, familiar, consistent, boring, unemotional. Good navigation is ugly and functional. You’ve just designed a new plane. It’s sleek and ergonomic, fuel efficient yet roomy. You’re now sitting with your fellow designers trying to figure out what to call the Exit sign. Why not call it Exit?
