Usability is a very important point in web design, and design not only because most people like a simple site and easy to understand.
Usability covers all aspects of website design which can be achieved to split testing of LPs too. There is a book named “Landing page optimization” by Tim Ass. A must have read for every designer and webmaster.
Thanks for tips anyways.
Usability, Navigation, Browser compatibility and an intuitive UI — these are the few things that I always look for while evaluating a site/blog design.
I wanna making a plan to design one new blog on health theme. You make my task much easier. You made some good points there. I did a search on web design and web design and found most people will agree with your blog. I bookmarked your blog its really very nice and informative.
Very nice tips, these are very important for website developers to undergo. We must make sure we plan and execute them correctly to avoid future mistakes or problems. 🙂
The biggest error that I see is when people choose black backgrounds and very thin fonts. It makes it impossible to read the content. NO matter how good the content is if I can not read it the blog is pretty much useless.
I agree on two of the above points very strongly – typography/fonts and cross browser compatibility. After developing my own stuff, now I am struggling to make it work in IE 6 though hardly 10-12 visitors per day come from IE6.
Making the website lightweight by design will help a lot as well. Right now DollarShower is just 150KB on the home page 🙂
I believe in following all of those rules. I just can’t accept that people and business owners won’t take the time to upgrade from IE6!
U have shared a good one, i am new in this field and when i make the designed i have faced many problems so i will try to follow the above steps to make it better..
Cheers with Success,
harry
