A usable site supports its visitors to perform their information retrieval goals easily and efficiently, and in doing so delivers the goals of Bury MBC.
A usable site inspires confidence in the site and ultimately visitors will be keen to return again and again. In short, usability is absolutely critical to a web site's success.
Good usability can be defined as a product that is:
- intuitive to use;
- efficient to use;
- easy to remember;
- enjoyable to use;
- consistent in its behaviour.
On a web site this means using well-thought out content and design, and creating content that is easy to find and simple to navigate.
There is no single style formula for ensuring usability. However, ensuring consistency is an important factor which is why our web editors follow corporate standards.
