Usability First™ provides information and resources for key issues related to usability in website and software
design. We believe that helping people do their work in an effective and enjoyable way should be the top priority in
design because if a product is not usable, people will not use it.
Usability usually refers to software but is relevant to any product. Some ways to improve usability include:
- shortening the time to accomplish tasks,
- reducing the number of mistakes made,
- reducing learning time,
- and improving people's satisfaction with a system.
If you are new to the field of usability, visit the introduction to usability.
For step-by-step instructions on usability evaluation, visit the usability methods section. Also, take
a look at the usability glossary, containing 1000 usability-related terms!
Usability First is now offering free usability job postings for usability-related jobs. Find out more.
We are always eager to hear from people who use the site. So, please feel free to send us feedback to let us know how we can improve this site.
