What is Web Usability?

Web site usability is determined by:

  • Learnability - The measure of how rapidly a user can become productive. A measure of how rapidly an infrequent user can re-learn the product after periods of not using it.
  • User Effectiveness - The measure of user productivity and how well a user can perform his job.
  • Efficiency - The measure of how quickly a user can perform work and the error rate in doing so. Minimizes chance for user errors. Undo/Re-Do, Esc, Short-Cuts available.
  • Usefulness - The degree to which a product enables a user to do his work and achieve his goals.
