"Usable websites provide more content in less time."
Fully Usable
This website consists of good document structure, clear navigation and should be as free from jargon as is possible. With actions following content and clearly defined objectives we're sure you'll find this site easy to use.
What is website usability?
It's the art of presenting the website in a way that it easy to use for the visitor. Every website has a purpose and the content must convey a message. Ensuring logical and easy access to this ensures usability. Not giving the user an overwhelming choice of options and not confusing people with inconsistent navigation means people will find what they need sooner rather than later.
Why is website usability important?
If users spend too much time trying to understand how to use your website, they're likely to end up leaving your site for another providing the same goods or services. Says it all really.
Test your website
This is difficult because of the variables involved such as user knowledge, confidence, browser capabilities etc. The only sure way is to keep it simple and clear, validate your website and listen to your visitors when they have problems using your site as well as making the necessary changes if they're justified.
