The nav tag itself doesn't do much it's just a name for the element container but it useful to remind you where you are and what you are editing in css also "screen readers targeting disabled users, can use this element to determine whether to omit the initial rendering of this content." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/nav

how about something like this 

<nav>
   <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
</nav>

Hi. Try using <header> instead of <nav> :)
