Print and Web Design: What Are The Differences And Why It's Important To Design Differently For Web.
While working as a web designer, I have many times run across incredibly talented and fine artists who, while doing amazing jobs for print production, tried to design for web with very little knowledge on the technology, computer-human interaction, usability, and other important aspects that distinguish web products from print ones.
Usability and Navigation: How to Make it Work
Unfortunately, many websites may not be considered usable as they turn off a lot of potential customers just because it's hard to find a menu or a PRoduct PRice list, or to navigate through different sections. These seemingly insignificant flaws sometimes turn out to be really critical, especially for small businesses, and have no right to remain unfixed. It's great if you have worked hard on functionality, but what's the use of it if no one will like to work with the site because it's inconvenient or unattractive? Any web PRoject should be optimized for search engines but also simple to navigate, clear, and easy to use.
What Is Usability And Why It Is So Important
As there are rules in every type of PRoduction, there are rules in developing websites. When you are publishing a book, you wouldn't put its title on the back cover and PRint pages backwards (unless your culture tells you so). There is a certain set of rules in website development, which were created to help a visitor interact with your PRoject in the most efficient way. It is called usability.
