Improve Web Usability using Web Designing

Web Usability in simple words means making a website which is easy to use for the end users. That means without the need of any special training the user should be able to use the site easily. For this one should:

• The information should be present in a way that it is clear to the user.

• Provide proper choices to the users

• Important items should be placed in the appropriate place on the web page.

Usability is a combined task of a web designer and content writer. Because work of these two fields decides how effective the website is presented for the users. Rather than being very amazing the website should be user friendly. Here are few of the tips for improving usability.

Accessibility:

Anything that’s present on your website should be accessible easily to all the users. Here’s how it can be done.

Media: Photos, videos, animations or anything that’s visually engaging attracts users and holds them on the site for long. So using such media is advisable however media which hide important information is not good and should be avoided.

Speedier: The site which loads immediately the user clicks it makes them happy. And they like coming back to such websites. So follow the rule of KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) while designing the site to improve the speed.

Design: The design of the website is the most integral part of UI of any website. So always keep the design of the website as simple as possible so that it is beautiful, functional and simple.

Nametag:

When you meet a new person the first thought that comes to your mind is “Who is he/she?” The same is true for websites also. Whenever user visits any website he wants to know the same thing like ‘what is the site about’, ‘who is the owner’ etc.

Logo & Tagline: To answer all these obvious questions of the users these two are the main entities. The logo should be placed in the top left corner of all web pages on the site and should redirect to homepage when clicked. Keep a proper and clear tagline which is short and self explanatory. You can get affordable logo design services from a London based company.

Path to follow:

Path in other words ‘Navigation’ of the website which user follows for getting the information. Web design London Company has suggested following ways to do keep this step simple.

• Keep the navigation system traditional for allowing the users to reach the required information easily. Keep the navigation tools small and visible.

• With the help of cookie crumbs make sure that you inform your users which page they have landed on if it’s not the home page.

Content of the site:

The most important aspect after designing is the content in the website. This is something which holds the users on the site for long. Once they enjoy the content they keep coming back to the site.

• Information which is most important should be highlighted in the content and the important information should be covered in the first 2 paragraphs of the content.

• Keyword spamming should be avoided because it’s not good for the quality of content and also not good from SEO point of view.
