User-Friendly?
I’ve gone to great lengths to make the site as usable as possible.
What’s so usable?
Usability refers to the features, design, media and organisation of content on a website, and how intuitive they are to the user. If you can navigate a website you’ve never visited before with no problem, then that site is user-friendly (in regards to navigation).
Usability is very closely linked to modem-friendliness.
Here’s a list of things I’ve done to make the site friendlier for you:
- Very minimalist design so that modem users do not have to wait long
- Links are a whole different color to other page elements, and change color when visited, moused over etc.
- Links that lead to pages outside the desiquintans.com domain are marked by the external link icon, which looks like
.
- At the last minute and at great expense, items in the navigation bar are graded according to the likelihood of being clicked on and their logical relatonship with other items.
- Subheadings are applied where appropriate to facilitate skimming.
