1. A machine readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed cause a machine to perform a first set of operations comprising:
- displaying a page of a sister site, the sister site comprisinga web site in a hypertext markup language (HTML) format reformatted into an extensible markup language (XML) formata simplified subset of content of the web site reformatted to be displayed as a plurality of layers of cells arranged in a matrix, at least some of the cells individually selectablenavigation options which change between layersfor each layer, user inputs associated with at least one of the cells, the user inputs distinct amongst the cells of a given layer.

8. A process for generating a navigation interface comprising:
-
receiving web based content via a network, the web based content received in a first format simplified from an original format of the web based content generating a navigation interface to display the web based content, the navigation interface defining a matrix with each cell of the matrix mapped to a unique input presenting the web based content through the navigation interface by tying each navigation option of the web based content to a separate cell of the matrix. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for providing a simplified navigation interface comprising:
-
receiving a request for web based content from a remote device over a network; transforming the web based content from an original format to a simplified format compatible with a navigation interface having a matrix format with each cell of the format corresponding with a unique input; and sending the simplified format to the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
