  New publication: 200 usability tips (15 September 2003)
Based on the observation of hundreds of users and the analysis of dozens of web sites, AGConsult has come up with 200 practical tips guaranteed to improve the usability and efficiency of every corporate or commercial web site. 

Why these tips?
A site can only be fully successful if people actually like using it. Users like a web site that works the way they expect it to and where they can easily find what they're looking for. Unfortunately, the user experience on most sites is anything but positive. And that's not a good thing. A negative user experience not only influences the user's image of the web site but also of the company that's behind the web site. 

A positive user experience doesn't come in a handy jar but there are a few simple rules you can follow to avoid some of the biggest obstacles that stand in the way of a positive user experience. Unfortunately, because web builders, graphic designers, IT-people, marketing and communication managers aren't usability experts, they often don't know these rules exist. 

Practical tips, lots of examples
That's why AGConsult has come up with 200 tips that cover almost all aspects of the usability of a web site: accessibility, compatibility, layout, navigation, legibility, online forms, search and results pages, et cetera. The 200 tips are illustrated by 247 screenshots and examples that show you what to do and what not to do. 

A must-read for everyone involved in internet projects
The non-technical tips are based on research and the observation of real users. Everybody who benefits from a good web site should read them. Graphic designers, programmers, interface specialists and project leaders can use the tips to make better web sites. Account managers, marketing and communication managers, CEO's and managing directors will get a better insight in the do's and don'ts of the Internet, which will make them better equipped to evaluate and manage an internet project. The 200 tips are 139 pages long and cost 95 euro.

How can AGConsult help you to develop a user-centered information structure?
