Usability 101

Using the web for some people can be very challenging. But there is a difference, at least in my eyes, as to using the web and being able to use the web. Confusing? Let me explain. If a website isn't user friendly, it won't survive. The web is supposed to be fast, if someone can't search for what they want and find it with ease, the web has failed them. Most sites have different layouts. Once the user has figured out how to navigate the site, they can perform their tasks quickly. The challenge is making your site user friendly. Every page of your site is important, like the article says, if your homepage doesn't say what the site has to offer then it'd not giving off the right information the user wants to know right away. The most frustrating thing is not finding what you want on a site but if your site is user friendly you shouldn't have any problems.
