Issues on Website Usability
I was again testing the usability of one of my website projects today and thought how else the site can be improved.
I know a LOT has yet to be done, but the issues on usability is to me the most urgent one. After all it’s what users see. They don’t see the codes or the back-end system that makes the website work.
NZHerald online has good tips for website usability. After I’ve read its top tips, though some of them I already know, still I found good insights there.
Here are the questions that the tips addressed.
1. I’ve a lot of information to put on to my site. How can I organise it so visitors find what they are after?
2. How can I make my website easier for users to find their way around, more intuitive?
3. What are the key elements any website should have?
4. How can I ensure visitors don’t get “lost” on my site? What should I leave out?
5. What’s the best way to manage links? Any tips on making online forms?
