Whole lotta usability links
Web pages that suck looks at the biggest mistakes of 2004. I think the template still needs a bit of tweak.. especially after this. But you have to stop tinkering at some point. Version 1.0 of the template will be a good start.
…and here are a bunch of usability related links (I have yet to read them all myself).
- Double O Negative Usability Testing
- My first user test!
- Usability: Subliminal U-Turns
- Roman UI Design II – said user will then try to find more examples of this “shoddy workmanship†and before you know it, the nearly-beautiful UI which you slaved over for months is a laughing stock. Brilliant.
- Packaging an Interface Design
- Usability of Websites for Teenagers – this shouldn’t be a surprise to folks around here… but it re-enforces some things. The chart is funny though.. teens don’t enjoy anything.
- Usability in E-Learning
- Cultural importance of usability testing – I think this applies to multi-cultural Universities as well. When doing usability testing try to ensure you have a diverse group.
