Appendix A. Designing for Usability
Although there is a certain amount of artistic freedom when creating a website, there are also well-established “best practices” among professional web designers. Have you ever visited a webpage that was hard to navigate, difficult to understand, or just plain ugly? A good web designer can look at these pages and offer suggestions for improvement.
In this guide, you’ll learn some techniques for making your website as usable as possible. By making your website easy and fun for your visitors to navigate, you increase the time people will spend at your site and the number of times they will return.
