6 Usability Tips for Good Web Design |

1. |
No important links should fall "below the fold" - when referring to a website, the fold is the point at which the user must scroll down to read the text. |
2. |
The Pay Bill function on your website should take no more than 3:30 minutes |
3. |
An online registration function should take no more than 3:00 minutes - utilize auto propagated fields to expedite the process for repeat visitors. |
4. |
Write for scanability - be brief and to the point - use bulleted text - break up long copy with hyperlinked text. |
5. |
Experts say good readability falls in the 8th grade reader level - check readability of your copy against the Flesch-Kincade grade level and readability scale. |
6. |
Consistency is key - always maintain consistency in navigation and design throughout your website. |
