When a site's navigation menu is dysfunctional or the lack of coherent, visitors might be distracted or confused and then close the browser. As we are presenting a document or proposal to a client, if there is lack of uniform in topics' themes, presentation orders, common level of diction and sense of humors, and heading and font format, the receivers might have misunderstanding or unclear thoughts towards the presenter's message and good intentions.
