Web Publishing TGWPS Usability Guidelines Print friendly PART TWO - USABILITY GUIDELINES USABILITY (Principle 4) COMMUNITY EXPECTATION The community should be able to easily and efficiently achieve the online outcomes that they reasonably expect to accomplish by visiting a specific government web site. The community expects that government web sites should make it easy for them to meet their personal needs. USABILITY Web usability is the capacity of your users to effectively perform the tasks that they should reasonably expect to accomplish on your web site. This means that those tasks can be done easily, consistently, and quickly, and without prior knowledge or detailed training. Usability is not about whether your users are excited or impressed by your web site, but about whether your users can accomplish what they set out to do. A web site that delivers user outcomes creates a better impression and generates more return traffic than one that only looks flashy. Web publishing within government should be built from this one simple principle: the capacity of the site to delivery outcomes for the intended user audience. Ultimately this means that not only is the site designed around this process, but that site outcomes and usability are tested against real users.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity Jakob Nielsen New Riders 1999 A book review by Danny Yee Designing Web Usability is the most important book on web publishing yet to appear. While it contains little that is novel, at least to those who have read Nielsen's www.useit.com web site and other such resources, the lessons it teaches have not reached widely enough: there are all too many web sites that are a continual source of frustration and stress to users. (Nielsen begins by explaining why he chose to write a printed book on web design: for comprehensive, sustained arguments online reading is not yet as effective as print. Another consideration is that, going by the utter un-usability of so many corporate web sites, there must be many web site managers who don't actually use the web: some of these might read a printed volume.) At the core of Designing Web Usability , and two thirds of it by page-count, are chapters on page, content, and site design. The first covers cross-platform design, the importance of minimising response times, how to use links effectively, and the advantages and disadvantages of style-sheets and frames. The second covers writing for the web, micro-content (titles, headlines and so forth), and multimedia content (images, animation, audio, and video). The last covers navigation, home pages ("splash screens must die"), search support, and "URL design". Other chapters cover special usability issues with intranets, accessibility for users with disabilities, and internationalisation and localisation; in a final chapter Nielsen takes a stab at predicting the future of the Web.

Establish a primary navigation plan for your site and be consistent on every page. Your reader should be able to easily navigate your site. Include an easy path back to your site's main page Try to keep line lengths from exceeding screen width. You may want to format text using Cascading Style Sheets or using a table to preserve structure of tabular information.
