What Is Website Usability?

March 29th, 2008 4 comments

Usability is a web design term on how easy a site’s user interface is to use. The word “usability” also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.

There are five elements of Usability generally defined:

  1. Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?
  2. Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?
  3. Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?
  4. Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?
  5. Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?
