We can help to optimize your new site by running it through a checklist of basic tests of accepted usability standards. Can you get to anywhere on your site with less than three clicks of the mouse? Do all of your pages take less than 10 seconds to load? Do your Javascripts work on all of the available browsers that support it? Are your pages accessible to people with disabilities? Launching a new web site is an exciting experience, but it can also be agonizing if you have to go back and make fixes once it is live. We can help you avoid the major pitfalls.

(Reference: W3C: 3.5) Choose color schemes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background. Ensure that all information conveyed with color is also available without color. 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.

Search Shortcuts Buyer's Guide Web Publishing News Best Practices ... Sales and Marketing IQ Champions By Melissa Reyen This installment of Champions of Web publishing features Jakob Nielsen, author of Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed, and principal and co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group. Nielsen is perhaps the best known advocate for simplifying the online user experience. He has invented several usability methods and holds 71 patents in the U.S., primarily surrounding the ways to make the Internet easier to use. His column on Web usability has been published since 1995 and as he moves into issues surrounding writing Web sites for low-literacy readers, it looks like his full range of influence on the Web publishing world is yet to be discovered. Publish: What got you started with Web usability? Jakob Nielsen: From 1983 to 1993, I had been working on usability and hypertext, so when the Web started to become big in 1994, it was natural for me to combine my two interests and do Web usability. From my very first user tests of websites and intranets in 1994 it was clear that there was great potential in theory but major usability problems in the actual designs that were imposed on the poor users. Publish: What role do you think usability plays in Web design? Can the two be compatible?

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity Jakob Nielsen New Riders 1999 Amazon 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.
