Usability Counts
A usable site allows our visitors to retrieve their information easily and efficiently. It inspires confidence in the site and ultimately inspires visitors to return again and again. In short, usability is absolutely critical to a website's success.
Good usability can be defined as a product that is:
- Intuitive to use
- Efficient to use
- Easy to remember
- Enjoyable to use
- Consistent in its behavior
On a website this means using well-thought-out content and design, and creating content that is easy to find and simple to navigate. UUA.org standards and guidelines have been created to support and promote these ideals.
