You might be tempted to use some fancy technology for your navigation. While that's not necessarily a problem, you need to test your site in various browsers (with various settings) to see what people might come across. According to recent stats, around 10% of users don't have Java enabled (many turn it off for extra security) and about 8% of users don't have Flash. If you think they'll install new plug-ins just to browse your site, you're pretty cocky - and probably wrong.
Test, test, test!
Test, test, test!
Test, test, test!
