Unit 1 Reading Response – Chapter 2 “How we really use the Web”
As we look at this chapter, we read about how the
user uses a web site. The user almost never reads or pays and close attention
to what is on the web site. They just scan the site until they find something that
they like or catches there attention. A lot of times the user has no idea what
they are doing when they are searching the web. They have a tendency to just
click away until they find what they are looking for, or just get fed up. The reason
for this is that the user is just in a rush and they don’t have time to take their
time and read the whole page to know where everything is. So scanning and
clicking away is the next best thing. Doing it this way can be fast if they manage
to guess right and find what they are looking for right away. On the other hand
this method does have its draw backs. Doing it this way can take way more time
than just actually taking ones time and reading the site.
This is where having a simple and user friendly design
is good to have. Make is so easy that a 5 year old can have no trouble what so
ever using it and finding something without being told where it is.
