What Is Website Usability?

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?
