A marvelously designed website is utterly useless if users can’t navigate or access its contents. Here are some guidelines to enhance your website’s usability and make it work perfectly:
Optimize Typography
Make your content typography user-friendly. Space out lines of large blocks appropriately with CSS. The line-height has to increase based on the length of a single line of text. The font size has to be big enough to read easily too. For instance, although the 10-pixel Verdana font looks slick and smart, it can strain the eyes.
Ease Content Search
Make easily accessible the content a visitor wants. This means if you have a site with thousands of articles, provide a friendly interface for visitors to find the content they want to read. Maybe an SQL-driven database search engine or even an index of articles. And it’s this that makes it easy for visitors to move around in your site.
Ensure Fast Loading Times
This will keep your visitors on board. Any internet user would generally leave a website if it is not opened within 15 seconds. Hence, give the core content of your website as soon as possible to your visitors. This will hold their interest.
Find Broken Links
Before you launch your site, click all its links to ensure that they work perfectly. Broken links can blow your professional image, so ensure all links are working properly.
Following all of the above-mentioned best practices increases the usability of your website, which basically makes it user-friendly and efficient.
