Usability
• “The extent of ease that users experience when using your
site”
• Is your site easy or hard to use?
• What are the factors that influence the ease or difficulty of
using your website?
Usability
• Layout
• Is your website cluttered an disorganized, making it difficult
for the user to properly identify the use of it’s elements?
• The lack of form in your website will ultimately give it an
amateurish appearance and detract from the website’s
credibility, regardless of the quality of your product.
Usability
• Bad Layout

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/why-

Usability
• Content
• Is the text misleading, confusing or not properly
representing the elements they are designed to describe?
• Are there crucial elements missing from your site (or just
difficult to find?)
• Avoid putting unnecessary details and distractions in your
website that do not contribute to its function

Affordance
• Affordance is the science of how the image or functionality
of an object adheres to what is expected of it.
• When effectively executed, a user should be able to know
what to do with it.
• “The 4 second rule” when it comes to Web Design, a user
should be able to identify the purpose of the website and
each individual element within the first 4 seconds of looking
at it.
• This concept applies to entire websites.
Affordance
• Examples of Affordance Implementation
• A button should look like a button and can be expected to
behave like a button.

Responsiveness
• Speed
• Is your site loading fast enough to maintain the user’s
attention?
• Are the images you are using too large to load quickly?
• Is the code you are using efficient?
https://dribbble.com/shots/955491-Speed http://www.iconsfind.com/20131216/speed-
icon/
Responsiveness
• Feedback
• Denotes the measure of a websites capacity to react with
user input, this contributes greatly to the UX
• Buttons that depress on click
• Loading indicators for processes that take time
• Confirmation messages that appear after actions performed
Responsiveness
• Errors
• The website should be able to provide an avenue to
respond to a user’s needs
• If there are errors, a user should be provided with a way to
contact the developer
Brand Image
• What constitutes the overall image of your site

Brand Image
• Consistency
• It is important to maintain a consistent design throughout
all pages, one that is commensurate with the image of the
brand.
http://colorlabsproject.com/themes/arthemia-premium/
Brand Image
• Consistency Implementation
http://colorlabsproject.com/themes/art
hemia-premium/
Brand Image
• Consistency
• Standards and conventions should be applied all throughout
each page
• If the search bar is at the upper right, then it should be at
the upper right for all pages
• As users move through your site, they should be reassured
that they are still in the same place by a unifying theme
• Applies not only to obvious elements like logos and
navigation, but also content elements like fonts and
backgrounds.
Summary
• UI is the congregation of the front facing elements that your
users interact with
• UI / UX can be applied anywhere, not just websites or
programmes
• UI / UX Design Principles:
• Aesthetics
• Usability
• Affordance
• Responsiveness
• Brand Image
Exercise
• Form into 6 groups
• Research about any company website and create a 10
minute PowerPoint presentation explaining how the
website applied the principles discussed in this lesson
• The PowerPoint itself has to exhibit the principles discussed
in this lesson
• At the end of the presentation, create 3 slides
demonstrating bad UI / UX design, be creative with the
ugliness
• You may download any image on the internet to
supplement the graphics you will use, so long as you credit
the source
