Usability

Charge: Web site design and development should be driven by user needs. The key to web site usability is ensuring that the site is both useful and usable for the intended audience. A usable web interface is one that is accessible, appealing, consistent, clear, simple, navigable, and forgiving of user blunders. Methods of collecting information for audience definition include focus groups, individual interviews, demographic research, and collection of feedback from a pre-existing site.
