I think loading time and navigation are key. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yes, I agree that to enhance the user behavior a web-page should be fully optimized and it should load as quick as it is possible.There are certain ways through which the loading time a web-page can be reduced like defer loading content whenever possible and try to update parts of page rather than updating the entire web page when an user performs an action and use external JS and CSS files.

I think a user friendly is such an important factor. When designing your own sites, its good to think about what you look for in a website, and I personally will not spend long on a website that is not user friendly, so important to apply this when thinking about the design a website

Nice post, I agree that when you are surfing to a website, loading time is annoying at times especially the pop-ups that you don’t even want to look at. I also agree that there are still people who use dial-up connections and I have experiences with websites before who have a lot of flash features. When using a slow connection, and the website has flash messages, it takes time loading those stuff. There is one instance when I was looking for new treadmills on a website, then a lot of other fitness gadgets came out in a pop.

A big problem for commerce sites is that it takes too many clicks to get to the products. Getting product images and prices up front will increase conversion.

I think the load time is determined especially by the ISP provider. However, Internet Explorer seems to be a little bit slow that the competitors (Opera and Firefox). I hope that Microsoft will repair this thing soon.

Yeah so true. Especially about the load times. So important.

Some people put way too much stuff on their myspace pages even, and it makes them unusable. Especially for some people who live in rural communities where high speed internet hasn’t arrived yet.
I am in Canada and there is still a lot of places where the internet is sllooooowwww.

Nice article, but to be honest, I only Proper Color Combination and Font Size & Above the Fold are considered usability issues. The other points are more related to the technical side of the website.

You guys know the website of Jakob Nielsen, http://www.useit.com/, right? Ugly site, but fantastic content about userfriendly websites. Worth checking out.

I could read articles like this all day to get inspiration to improve my site.

On the other hand changing your website to often can do a lot of damage. I always recommend changing it step by step over time so you regular visitors can get used to it.

Thank God we have WordPress these days. It does a whole lot of work for you. Either WP itself or a plugin.

Thanks for sharing, great value!
