Unit 3 Reading

Summary:

Chapter 6:

What I have gotten from this chapter is that we as designers need to design in a sense that allows people to not have to browse through a site but can easily navigate it with barely looking. We want to make it so that we can have a user of the sight come to it and not have to do much thinking to get to their end result. The author goes into great depth about how each page should be consistent and look fluid so the user doesn’t get confused while trying to find what they are looking for. He even gave suggestions on what to use when designing search bars for websites and how to make them more user friendly. He provides solid examples of bad websites and gives excellent examples of what to do to not only improve them but make them easier to navigate around. He even asks what we would do to change them, in the reading before he shows us his end result. All in all what I have gotten out of this chapter is to design with the thought that people will come back to your site if it is easy to use and if it is easy to navigate and find what your trying to look for.
