If you’ve ever been to a really good museum or botanical garden or an IKEA, they typically have a maze-like layout.
Rather than a central hub with clear in-and-out spokes, they encourage you to wander and meander. They have small little side paths, sometimes unlabelled on the map, where you can often find surprises or hidden gems (metaphorical, not literal).
Websites of days past were like this, too! Before blogs and UX-as-a-discipline and every-ecommerce-site-looks-like-a-Shopify-template, websites encouraged you to explore.
