LavaLife navigation review
Navigation on the site is easy. As we already said in our LavaLige review there are the three separate channels of the service: Dating, Relationship, and Intimate Encounters. A menu at the top of the screen allows you to switch between dating channels. All navigation tools (mailbox, buy credits, profile info, message history and help) are always shown on the right side so you can easily access them at any time. There no need to browse personal ads for hours you can just to view slide show to find most beatiful ladies. When browsing LavaLife always trying to provide with tips how to increase your profile response level. The disadvantages are: small text size, small photos and a bit heavy design it’s slowing the site speed. Also popup windows on Lavalife are not resizable.
