:: Involving USERS
from the beginning &
throughout the design
process.
::Designing for Your
Users
It is all about making
your design usable.
(Norman on ‘Thoughtful Design’,
2008)
USABILITY is at the
heart of the user
experience (UX).
Poor usability can
lead users to abandon
sites and it can cost
businesses thousands
and thousands of
dollars.
