Web pages that suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. This reading relates to behavioral design. The reading discusses web sites that aren't user friendly, in other words they don't perform well. These web sites do not serve the desired function of the creator because they have made some very bad designing errors. This could be easily fixable, if they designer read a "How to for Dummies" book or two. Behavioral design is all about the user of a product, and how well the user interacts with your product. This is a big part of design that we discuss in class.
  2. There are a few major points they could make or break a well designed site. Any user should be able to understand the main idea of your site within the first 4 seconds. I feel that the user shouldn't have to search for the true purpose of any site. The next biggest concept of a good web page design are navigation errors. Navigating through the site should be simple and concise. The author also talks about having heroin content. I think that must site crave the imaginary heroin content. Heroin content is the difference between a good site and a great site. More web pages need to find heroin content.
  3. If I had to create my own list of important design factors for a web page they would have to be: Coherency, Usability, Simplicity, and Addictive Information.
