网站设计可用性十原则

10 Usability Principles to guide you through the Web Design Maze 10个可用性原则

1. Motivate: Design your site to meet specific user needs and goals. Use motivators to draw different user "personae" into specific parts of your site.

激发：用户为什么访问你的网站，他们可能有怎样的需求，为他们提供个性化的区域（服务）

2. User task flow: Who are your users? What are their tasks and online environment? For a site to be usable, page flow must match workflow.

用户工作流：你的用户是谁？他们的网络环境和任务是什么?页面的组织应该符合工作流程。

3. Architecture – it's 80% of usability, Build an efficient navigational structure. Remember – if they can't find it in 3 clicks, they're gone.

体系结构-决定了可用性的80%，建立有效的导航，记住-如果访问者点击3次找不到他们想要的东西，他们就会离开。

4. Affordance means obvious: Make controls understandable. Avoid confusion between emblems, banners, and buttons.

控件寓意鲜明：控件可理解。避免混淆徽章，条幅和按钮。

5. Replicate: Why reinvent the wheel? Use ergonomically designed templates for the most common 8-12 pages.

复制：何苦要重复（新）发明呢？别人成功的案例学习来就好。通用建议8-12页。

6. Usability test along the way: Test early in design using low-fidelity prototypes. Don't wait until the end when it's too late.

可用性测试随时进行：在设计之初可以用原型测试，不用等到全部建好后测试，那就晚了。

7. Know the technology limitations: Identify and optimize for target browsers and user hardware.Test HTML, JavaScript, etc for compatibility.

了解技术局限：确定并优化浏览器，用户用户硬件。测试HTML， JavaScript, etc.的兼容性。

8. Know user tolerances: Users are impatient. Design for a 2-10 second maximum download. Reuse header graphics so they can load from cache. Avoid excessive scrolling.

了解用户的容错范围：用户是不耐烦的。下载时间最大值设计为2-10秒，重复使用标题（页眉图片）它们可以从缓存中加载。避免过多的滚动。

9. Multimedia – be discriminating: Good animation attracts attention to specific information, then stops. Too much movement distracts, slowing reading and comprehension.

多媒体——易识别：好的生动的特效信息捕捉到注意后，停下。过多的移动会转移，减慢阅读和理解。

10. Use a stats package: Monitor traffic through your site. Which pages pique user interest? Which pages make users leave? Adjust your site accordingly.

使用统计：监视网页流量。哪一页挫伤了用户的兴趣？哪一页使用户离开？是调整网站的依据
