Running
a successful business website has become one of the most important
facets in the life of a business organization and hence websites are
required to be simple, intuitive and highly engaging. A highly
user-friendly website plays a vital role in the improved performance
of the business. This blog discusses on some of the basic
requirements of a user-friendly website.
Effective
navigation:
Simple,
intuitive and easy navigation is one of the most important
requirements of a highly user-friendly website. Making use of simple
HTML and Java Script menus would tend to have a consistent
performance on all the browsers and platforms.
Simple and concise content:
The
average users of the internet skip through the content of the website
and they hardly read each and every words of the page from top to
bottom while scanning for their relevant needs. Henceforth formatting
the content with appropriate headings, sub-headings, bullets and
lists would be easier for the user to scan through the page.
Mobile compatibility:
We
live in an era of mobile phones and a website need to be mobile friendly to be user-friendly as more and more people access through
the internet with their mobile phones as per the latest surveys.
Therefore, creating a mobile website or a mobile version of the
website or making the responsive website would be the best choice for
a website to be friendlier to the user.
Fast load times:
Slow
speed is one of the reasons for the visitors to leave the website and
it has to be ensured that a website gets loaded within 4 to 6 seconds
at the maximum to afford good usability to the user.
To
conclude, a website needs to be much friendlier to the user to
increase the chances of success for the business as a whole not only
in terms of ROI but also in building a good client base.
