Usability in Web Design
The usability of a newly built website is essential in helping it to become a success. A site may offer all sorts of bells and whistles but if they are difficult for a visitor to find or use they will be worthless. Below are just a couple of pointers to help keep you on the right usability tracks:
Keep page load times down
You will no doubt have heard before that a visitor will assess your website in the first few seconds of reaching the website – if they have to spend the first few seconds waiting for the website to actually load, there’s little chance they’ll be as interested as if the site were to load quickly!
Optimal Site Navigation
Another important factor is to make sure your new site is as simple as possible to navigate. This includes steps such as making all pages accessible in as few clicks as possible and incorporating an effective search function on the site.
