Some Web sites use different navigation layouts on the home page and the rest of the site. So can home page navigation be different from the rest of the site?
Generally, you should try to use the same navigation bar throughout the entire site. If a user clicked on a link on the navigation bar, they would expect to find the link in the same position on the next page and on other pages of the site.
It could confuse the user, if the link on the top navigation bar on the home page is moved to the left side on sub-pages, or the wording is changed. Even worse is when the link is removed altogether on sub-pages!
Of course, if you must move the main navigational options, make sure that their wording remains the same and they're in the same order. However, if 'shopping cart' suddenly changes its name to 'product basket', your users will have problems!
