No matter how
brilliant your website design is, if it is hard to reach the
content of your site then your site is as useful as an empty
shell. Here are some tips to improve the usability of your
website to ensure it serves its functions optimally.
The first
method is to make sure the typography of your content is
suitable. If you have large blocks of text, make sure to use
CSS to space out the lines accordingly. The longer a single
line of text is, the greater the line-height of each line
should be. Also, make sure the font size of your text is big
enough to read easily. Some sites have 10-pixel-tall text in
Verdana font; while that may look neat and tidy, you have to
really strain your eyes to read the actual text.
Make it easy
for visitors to find content that they want on your site. If
you have thousands of articles on your site and a certain
visitor wants to find one single article from that pile, you
have to provide a feasible means to enable visitors to do that
without hassle. Be it an SQL-driven database search engine or
just a glossary or index of articles that you have, providing
such a feature will make sure your visitors can use your site
with ease.
Ensure that
your site loads fast if you do not want to lose visitors. Most
internet users will leave a website if it doesn't load
completely within 15 seconds, so make sure the crème de la
crème of your website is delivered to the visitors as soon as
possible to retain their attention.
Last of all, test each and every link on your
site before it goes online. There is nothing more effective in
tarnishing your professional image than broken links, so be
very careful about that.
