Lähisivu

Lähisivu is a Finnish term that translates to "close-up page" or "nearby page." It is primarily used in the context of web design and user interface development to describe a page that is closely related to the current page or the user's immediate context. This can include pages that are logically linked, share similar content, or are part of a sequential process. For example, if a user is viewing a product page, a lähisivu might be a page displaying product reviews, a related products section, or a "how to buy" guide. The concept aims to keep users engaged by offering relevant information or actions without requiring them to navigate far from their current task. In some applications, a lähisivu might be displayed as a modal window or a sidebar, appearing adjacent to the main content. The goal is to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience by anticipating the user's needs and offering them direct access to supplementary or sequential information. This design principle is employed to reduce cognitive load and improve efficiency in digital interactions.
