The Golden Key to Websites
1.
The golden key
to websites ...or what I have learned about the web so far
2.
Hi, I’m Jess.
3.
This guy asked
me to write a guest post for his blog.
4.
So here it
is. (Thanks so much to Jye for this opportunity!)
5.
I’m about to
graduate from an IT degree.
6.
I’ve only been
within the web industry for about a year. (And I’m still learning)
7.
But what have
I learned so far?
8.
All websites are
only about one thing -
9.
Not functionality. (What
the site does)
10.
Not usability. (How
easy it is to use)
11.
It’s about the
client achieving their business goals.
12.
Which can be
different things for different websites.
13.
It could be
profit and revenue,
14.
Or achieving lots
of site views and spreading information.
15.
But there is
a key way to achieve these goals -
16.
By improving the
relationship of functionality and usability.
17.
Usability helps people
utilise the functionality,
18.
So you really
can’t have one without the other.
19.
Improve this relationship
by:
20.
Make the core
functionality obvious. (They can’t use what they can’t see)
21.
Use accessibility standards.
(Visually impaired people use the internet too!)
22.
Keep consistent with
best practices and benchmarks. (So users can use your site efficiently)
23.
But stand out
from the crowd. (Because clones are boring)
24.
And most importantly,
25.
Undertake Usability Testing.
26.
To determine if
the relationship is being achieved
27.
It’s all about
working together to achieve the goal,
28.
Even if you
come from different perspectives.
29.
