Usable Web Sites

Building a Web site that’s usable seems like a logical thing to do; however, how many sites have you visited in which you get lost, or the main page is a bandwidth hog and you leave because it’s taking too long to open? The Summer Issue of Usability News covers a lot of good ground with articles on link locations, the best fonts to use for readability, the best layouts for multi-column pages, how to shave off image file sizes to help pages load quicker, e-commerce issues, and more.
