The What and Why of Usability

Usability, as it applies to websites, is the ability of a user to navigate through and complete tasks successfully on a site. This is so important because every website visitor comes to a site to accomplish something.

Usability means knowing your users and knowing why they are at your website. It means understanding that people go online to get information and accomplish tasks. It means knowing that people are at your site to accomplish a specific task. It means eliminating unnecessary steps in, or better segmenting the processes of accomplishing tasks online. It means using clear links that build the user's confidence that s/he is accomplishing what s/he came to do.

Make Usability Work for You

At Studio1 Interactive every website is created with the user in mind and we usually opt not to move ahead ideas if they cannot be implemented in a way that doesn't interfere with the usability of a site or a site's task.

We can evaluate your website, triage the usability issues, and implement the changes. Then we'll work with your own staff to help ensure new projects don't get implemented with serious usability issues. For innovative projects or custom applications, we can arrange for usability testing through local usability specialists, and then translate the results into actionable items to improve your online efforts.
