Web design and usability guidelines

Web design and usability guidelines 11/02/2003 01:03 AM

Usability.gov's Research-Based Web Design & Usability Guidelines lose instant credibility for being available only as a 39.2 MB PDF file, with all of the usability and accessibility problems that brings with it. I'm on a fast connection here so I downloaded them anyway to have a look. There's actually a lot of good things I can say about them - the document is attractively laid out, the guidelines clear and easy to follow and each is backed up by references to academic research (hence the title). There are however some guidelines with which I completely disagree, in particular the ones in chapter 4, entitled "Hardware and Software":

4:1 Design for Common Browsers

Guideline: Design, develop and test for the most common browsers.

Comments: Designers should attempt to accommodate ninety-five percent of all users. Ensure that all testing of a website is done using the most popular browsers.

Rubbish. Designers should attempt to accommodate 100% of all users (in as much as content should be accessible to them), which really isn't difficult if you stick to the standards rather than designing with a particular browser in mind. The 95% statistic is particularly worrying as they link to The Counter.com as a source of browser statistics, which currently shows Internet Explorer as holding 93% of the market.

4:2 Account for Browser Differences

Guideline: Do not assume that all users will have the same browser features, and will have set the same defaults.

Comments: Visually impaired users tend to select larger fonts, and some users may turn off backgrounds, use fewer colors, or use font overrides. The designer should find out what settings most users are using, and specify on the website exactly what assumptions were made about the browser settings.

Great guideline, lousy comment. How does specifying on a site what assumptions were made about the browser settings help anyone? It's almost like having "best viewed in Internet Explorer at 1024x768 with 32 bit colour" plastered on to the front page. No one is going to change their settings for your site, so telling them what is assumed isn't going to help them one iota.

Tellingly, the guidelines make no mention of using web standards or validating pages anywhere in the document. While there's lots of useful stuff in there, this omission (and the clangers highlighted above) mean the overall package should be examined with a critical eye.

In an earlier entry about Usability.gov's Research based Web Design & Usability Guidelines I criticised them heavily for not providing an HTML alternative to the huge PDF file containing the guidelines. It has since been pointed out that the guidelines are in fact also available as HTML. I'd like to apologise to the authors of the site, although I would also like to suggest that they add a link to the HTML version from the PDF page. Thanks go to Adam Bramwell for alerting me to my mistake.

Guidelines for panel presenters

Guidelines for panel presenters 02/01/2005 08:42 PM

Steve Boback sent this around to the Blog Business Summit presenters. I thought it was pretty salient.....

---

Based on my experience, various critical posts made by attendees of previous blog conferences, and reading/listening to the transcripts and session recordings available from other blog events, I have some culled some guidelines largely based on comments from attendees at other conferences.

* AIM HIGH: Attendees will forgive sessions that contain a significant percentage of new or unfamiliar material. They will be merciless if you teach them "stuff I already knew".

* PRAGMATIC INFO: The one main thing I'd like to emphasize is that we should all present information that helps people execute on better--more profitable business blogging NOW. Our audience wants tools and techniques that they can leverage asap when they get back to the office. For example, let's not talk too much about what protocols, platforms, or standards SHOULD win various standards battles. Please focus on how to use (today) the ones that WILL win. Our audience doesn't have time and $$ to spend on investing in "great" and/or "future" technologies and then end up being orphaned. As we have all learned the hard way, "best" does not necessarily mean "enduring".

* HOW-TO FOCUS: This is a how-to event. At all costs avoid the tendency to fall into the trap of talking about how cool this all is, how we can all change the world, or any subject that veers out of the how-to arena. There is no shortage of conferences that will pontificate, self-congratulate, and debate for hours on how blogs can liberate humanity and eliminate global warming. This is not one of them.:)

* AVOID THE ECHO CHAMBER: This conference is about bloggers teaching effective businesses-related strategies and tactics, not so much about bloggers talking to bloggers about blogging. That being said, bloggers that successfully provide sales/marketing/pr/collaborative benefits to businesses have a lot to tell those bloggers that aspire to do the same. One key note to remember--if something has already been said by someone on the podium, avoid repeating it.

* TALKING ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS/SERVICES: It's like salt on a steak. A very small amount carefully applied can be okay. More than just a touch and the whole thing tastes pretty bad. People hate paying for a commercial. A slide at the beginning and a mention at the end are about it, in our experience.

* CUT TO THE DEMO: Show. Don't just tell. Get out of PowerPoint (or
whatever) and *demonstrate* what you're talking about.

* REPEAT THE QUESTION: With questions from the audience, repeat the question. This is a constant complaint from attendees. It also allows you to recast a problematic question in your own terms.

* DON'T GET SIDETRACKED: Wait for questions until the end. If you get a specialized or off-topic question, don't get sidetracked. Recast the question or ask the person to see you after the session.

* DON'T ARGUE: If you're participating in a panel, don't fight. Don't be acrimonious. People generally like it when speakers disagree in an informative, interesting way. They hate it when they argue.

* CROSS REFERENCE. Please attend other conference sessions and refer to them in your presentations. It puts your content in context and avoids repetition. Give your attendees cross-refs to other sessions.

* STAY ON TIME: Start and end on time. We keep to a *strict* timetable, and we'll have the hook ready. Attendees really like it when we stay on schedule. Also, do not end your session more than 2-3 minutes before the allotted time.
