Sometimes beautiful design and explicit step-by-step explanation couldn’t get along very well. If the design is spectacular, chances are the demonstration would not be very clear. To improve user experience, you may want to guide your visitors through different sections and such. The following plugins are built for this purpose. Adapt them and have some fun!

The name says it all, it may not look beautiful than previous ones but it’s very practical. The navigation box can move around to indicate what visitors should look at. It can also highlight the area so you don’t miss a thing. You could see another explicit example: manual control,autoshow.
