Lessons in website design

Thursday, 16 August 2007

Some things I’ve learnt about website users over the years:

Users don’t care about your website and can’t be bothered learning how to use it.
Users just want to get their task done and then move onto something much more important than your website.
Users can’t be bothered reading your manuals or online documentation.

If only more designers had a similar experience, we would have a lot more usable sites.
