An article with concrete examples of usability mistakes that happen on regular basis on websites in general and in software related websites in particular. Confusing site structure, lack of search function, invisible links, non-optimized 404 pages, errors in usability forms and splash pages are only some aspects exemplified here.

			<H2>My Reasons for Hating Websites</H2> <P>Usability has become a more and more important issue these days for web developers, web designers and end-users. Nevertheless web 'oeuvres d'art' haven't ceased to exist being much against the interests of the end user. Like any work of art, the significance is quite hard to detect by the ordinary user. Sites without usability already belong to the internet stone age. Therefore, usability is something that should come from itself.</P> <P>People use the web to interact with other people, to find information, to do online shopping, to download programs and so on. To achieve these things easily, they have to be either familiar with the web sites or be intuitive enough in order to identify all the correct actions when browsing a new one. In the following paragraphs I'll reveal some of the common mistakes that web masters or designers are prone to make.</P></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C613DC49-923A-4D2A-B435-E1B965B4458D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
