Web Usability

As you can see there are millions and millions of people using the Internet every day.

It is true that Internet has become an inseparable part of our lives.

People search information through the web pages which have different level of USABILITY. I am sure many of you come across web sites with difficulties to use their navigation.

I find it really annoying when my search engine shows me a list of web pages and when I pick the one I can not find the information I am looking for. Maybe the information is there it is just difficult to find it. But in that case the information doesn't have any value.

I am not very patient user and when I look for something I expect to find it. I expect to open certain web page, see nice colourful design without any flashing or bright colours which make me have a headache. Also I prefer the most important terms highlighted and when I click on them they show me answers for my question -nice simple menu bar that is what I like. Information out of date??? Once again it just force me jump to different source. But that is not my loss.....;-]]

Also when I come back to that page I can remember where that information was. I find that, remember well designed web sites with easy usability and quick navigation.

I am sure there are people like me who finally give up searching bad designed web page and go to have a look somewhere else. It is a shame that those poor web sides are actually on the Internet and in my opinion they only waste our time. It should be restricted and only those with good quality and usability should be let to be published on the Internet. There are already too much information and most of them doesn't have any value.If no one is willing to spend time searching through them why they are wasting space on the Internet?? It is pointless.
