“Web usability is the ease of use of a website.
Some broad goals of usability are the
presentation of information and choices in a
clear and concise way, a lack of ambiguity and the
placement of important items in appropriate areas.
One important element of web usability is ensuring that
the content works on various devices and browsers.”
