10 Tools to Improve Your Site’s Usability on a Low Budget
Testing the usability of your site is one of the smartest things you can do. Usability involves making a website’s interface easier to use and simpler to understand, so that the user’s experience is as enjoyable as possible. The more usable a site is, the more satisfying it will be to interact with it — and happy visitors translate into happy customers. Ideas about what makes for the best website design don’t always translate perfectly when put into practice. Elements that one person might consider easy to use may actually turn out to be confusing for someone else. In this article, we’ll review 10 tools that you can use to improve your website’s usability even if you’re on a low budget. As designers and developers, we have a natural bias towards the way our own products function: we built them, so we know exactly how they work. Our visitors, however, don’t have this advantage. Usability testing allows you to discover many ways in which your site can be improved. How much testing should I do?
Design Thinking – Business Innovation
“O acirramento da concorrência nos negócios, agora global, requer inovação em alta velocidade. O livro me surpreendeu ao expor um processo coletivo visando a inovação, juntando sistematização do processo e seu exercício prático.” Aldo da Silva Trindade Arquitetura de Canais - Itaú Unibanco. “O livro possui uma leitura fácil e agradável além de exemplificar com conteúdos gráficos os conceitos teóricos e práticos do Design Thinking no desenvolvimento de projetos no ambito da inovação brasileira. “No GRUPO SEGURADOR BANCO DO BRASIL E MAPFRE, entendemos que a metodologia de Design Thinking é a que melhor integra a exploração do conhecimento dos hábitos e atitudes do consumidor com as diversas possibilidades humanas e tecnológicas disponíveis na empresa para gerar “UAUs” (encantamentos) e consequente resultado.”
10 Tips to Create a More Usable Web
Whether it’s your portfolio, a blog, a marketing web site, or a collection of games, we all want to attract visitors to our website and to ensure that they have a pleasant experience. Usability measures the level of a user’s experience and can be characterized by how easily a given task can be completed; whether it’s done with prior knowledge, or by having the user learn a new way to interact. I think Jakob Nielson probably explained it best when he said: “Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. In this article I hope to give you some form of a usability checklist, covering topics from form design to simple navigation tips that you can apply to any Web project. 1. Letting the user know what section of the site they’re in, or what category they’re navigating through can be give a huge usability boost to any site. As a third option, you can easily create active navigation with JavaScript. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

In the Woods - Common Mistakes in Web Design
Many rejected templates here on Themeforest suffer from the same few common mistakes: typography (font, line-height, letter-spacing, color), alignment (grid), and spacing (padding). In this tutorial, we are going to take a closer look at how to avoid these common errors. Typography You must understand how fonts affect the design of a page, and your readers. Don’t mix too many fonts Choose one font for headings, and another for the body. Don’t mix sans with serif fonts Ok, now this is not a rule; but for the beginners, I strongly suggest not to do so. Choosing the right font size We usually determine our font size with CSS by either using percentages, ems, or pixels. Adjusting the line-height The line-height property sets the distance between lines. Choosing the right font color The main thing to watch here is that your text is readable enough on any background that’s set. The problem can appear in choosing the wrong color palette. Alignment Use a grid system Be consistent Spacing (Padding)
