•  The	
  three-­‐click	
  rule	
  or	
  three	
  click	
  rule	
  is	
  an	
  
unofficial	
  web	
  design	
  rule	
  concerning	
  the	
  
design	
  of	
  website	
  naviga.on.	
  It	
  suggests	
  that	
  a	
  
user	
  of	
  a	
  website	
  should	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  find	
  any	
  
informa.on	
  with	
  no	
  more	
  than	
  three	
  mouse	
  
clicks.	
  It	
  is	
  based	
  on	
  the	
  belief	
  that	
  users	
  of	
  a	
  
site	
  will	
  become	
  frustrated	
  and	
  oVen	
  leave	
  if	
  
they	
  cannot	
  find	
  the	
  informa.on	
  within	
  the	
  
three	
  clicks.
