Introduction
“Al Bardre's book is about an everlasting truth--a truth that many people, many companies, many organizations have learned the hard way. That is, when designing technological systems for people to use, one must take into account the characteristics of the users, and the nature of the task, and the knowledge, experience, biases, strengths, and weaknesses that the users bring to the task. In the case at hand, the task is using the World Wide Web.”, James D. Foley, cited by informIT, retrieved 16:51, 18 November 2010 (CET))
The essence of a web usability structure, is according to Badre (2002:chapter 2):
- Where and under what conditions will the Web site be used?
- For what purpose will the site be used?
- Who will use the site (the target audience)?
- How will the site be used?
See also: usability (more general) web accessibility, HCI (human-computer interaction the most important academic displine dealing with usability).
