Norman Related links: sidebar: Walk-Through: A Usability Experiment sidebar: Get The Right Answers From Testing And from our sister publications: EETimes Panel predicts a dot.com revolution for design InternetWeek Web Publishing Send Us Your Feedback he Web puts user experience of the site first, purchase and payment second. On the Web, users first experience the usability of a site and then buy something. Give users a good experience and they're apt to turn into frequent and loyal customers. But the Web also offers low switching costs; it's easy to turn to another supplier in the face of even a minor hiccup. Only if a site is extremely easy to use will anybody bother staying around. The real difference between a person's behavior on the Web and in the physical world of real stores involves switching costshow much effort it takes to switch from one vendor to another. In a physical store, the costs of switching are high. The person has driven to the store, entered the building, and walked deep into the interior. Even when faced with dwindling supplies, inattentive or rude salespeople, and lines at the checkout counter, the purchaser is apt to stick with it. The cost of leaving, going to another store, and then possibly encountering the same behavior is usually not worth the effort. Of course, in the physical world, many people then never return.

31. Automatic Tools For Web Usability Evaluation: 1994. Nielsen, 1999 Nielsen J., Designing web usability the practice of semplicity, New Riders publishing, 1999. Nielsen, 2000 http://www.tri.sbc.com/hfweb/brajnik/hfweb-brajnik.html

Automatic web usability evaluation: what needs to be done? Giorgio Brajnik Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica giorgio@dimi.uniud.it Abstract Website redesign and maintenance are likely to absorb more and more resources as web technologies and uses keep evolving at the current pace. Usability evaluation methods need to be run after each change in order to ensure a decent quality level. The means to control the complexity and cost of website maintenance lies in tools performing automatic usability evaluations. I present a survey of tools that analyze websites, illustrating what kind of automatic tests they perform and which usability factors the tests are more closely related to. The survey then leads to an analysis of the still remaining gaps and of research openings. 1. Introduction It is well known that the average quality of websites is poor, “lack of navigability” being the #1 cause of user dissatisfaction [Fleming, 1998; Nielsen, 1999]. On the one hand web technologies evolve extremely fast, enabling sophisticated tools to be deployed and complex interactions to take place. Secondly, the life cycle of a website is also extremely fast: maintenance of a website is performed at a rate that is higher than that of other software products because of market pressure and lack of distribution barriers. In addition, often the scope of maintenance becomes so wide that a complete redesign takes place. On the other hand, the quality of a website is rooted on its usability, which usually results from the adoption of user-centered development and evaluation approaches [Newman and Lamming, 1994; Fleming, 1998; Rosenfeld and Morville, 1998; Nielsen, 1999]. Usability testing is thus a necessary and repeated step during the life-cycle of a website.

Web Publishing The invention of the World Wide Web has allowed an extraordinary amount of information to be within the reach of anyone with a PC and a modem. Persons with visual and other disabilities are able to use the Web; however important information may be lost to them when web developers fail to incorporate some simple web publishing techniques. Designers may overlook these issues because they are unaware of changes that can be made to improve the accessibility of their site. For additional information about creating accessible web pages and the related issues, please checkout the Web Development Tools section on Web Accessibility It is the responsibility of web publishers to familiarize themselves with web accessibility issues and learn the techniques that will make their pages accessible to users with disabilities. This document will explain the ways users with disabilitiess get information off of the Web. It will also explain how you can make your website accessible for those users. Screen Readers and Speech Synthesizers Web Publishing Information Screen Readers and Speech Synthesizers In order for visually impaired users to get information from a website, they must rely on a screen reader and speech synthesizer. Instead of the users reading the screen, the screen is read to them. The screen reader scans the page only picking up text while the speech synthesizer creates a voice that is heard through the computer's speakers.
