Developing usable and useful solutions...
Information Design or Information Architecture is characterized
by developing websites based on research, competitor analysis,
studying usability of the top players in the particular genre,
etc
Usability measures the quality of a user's experience when communicating
with a product or system- a Web site, a software application,
mobile technology, or any user-operated device.
Commonly, usability refers to how well users can learn and use
a product to achieve their goals and how satisfied they are with
that process. It means that people who use the product can do
so quickly and easily to accomplish their tasks. Usability may
also consider such factors as cost-effectiveness and usefulness.
Human-centered design is characterized by the active involvement
and a clear understanding of user and task requirements; an appropriate
allocation of function between users and technology; the iteration
of design solutions and multi-disciplinary design.
It is important to realize that usability is not a single, one-dimensional
property of a user interface. Usability is a combination of factors
including:
- Ease of learning
- Efficiency of use
- Memorabiltiy
- Error frequency and severity
- Subjective satisfaction
