General
Web usability is an approach to make web sites easy to use for an end-user, without the requirement that any specialized training be undertaken. The user should be able to intuitively relate the actions she needs to perform on the web page with other interactions she sees similar contexts, e.g., press a button to perform some action. Some broad goals of usability could be:
- Present the information to the user in a clear and concise way.
- Give the correct choices to the users in an obvious way.
- Remove any ambiguity regarding the consequences of an action (e.g. clicking on delete/remove/purchase).
- Place important items in an appropriate area on a web page or a web application.
