Website Usability Guidelines


  1. Align with the User’s World

    2. Design in a way that resonates with the user’s language and expectations. Use terms and concepts familiar to your audience instead of internal jargon. Follow real-world conventions to present information in a natural, logical flow, making it easy for users to understand and navigate.

  2. Maintain Consistency and Standards

    3. Ensure consistency throughout the site so users don’t have to question if different words, actions, or elements represent the same idea. Stick to industry and platform standards to create a cohesive experience that feels intuitive.

  3. Prioritize Error Prevention

    4. While clear error messages are essential, aim to prevent errors proactively. Remove or minimize error-prone elements, and offer confirmation prompts for critical actions to help users avoid unintended mistakes.

  4. Prioritize Recognition Over Recall

    5. Reduce the need for users to rely on memory by keeping essential elements, actions, and options visible. Users should be able to locate necessary information (like field labels or menu items) without recalling it from another part of the interface. Ensure vital information is easily accessible when needed.

  5. Design with Aesthetics and Minimalism in Mind

    6. Keep interfaces clean and focused by excluding irrelevant or seldom-used information. Each additional piece of content competes with important information, so prioritize clarity by emphasizing only what’s essential to the user experience.
