Primary navigation / Header

Old primary navigation
Pluggie.se old header
Problem 1
Mina Sidor (My Pages) is redundant. It navigates users to the login page — a flow that is also mirrored by the presence of a login button.
Solution
Ensure a clear presence of Logga in (Log in) and Bli medlem (Sign up) and remove Mina Sidor (My Pages) from the interface.
Problem 2
The Logga in (Log in) and Logga ut (Log out) options are placed right after a search form (Sök i Uppgiftsbanken) that lacks a clearly visible search button. This proximity can lead to confusion, potentially prompting users to mistakenly click on them as if they were the search button.
Solution
Logga in (Log in) and Logga ut (Log out) will be transitioned from primary buttons to navigation links. Bli medlem (Sign up) will be styled as a call-to-action with the design attributes of a primary button.
Problem 3
Account pages are mixed with logged out public pages.
Solution
Relocate account-related pages to the right side of the primary navigation. Left side will be reserved for non-account-related links. Make Mina sidor (My pages) stand out, without being styled as a primary button.
