Today is World Usability Day
Imagine if you couldn't figure out how to upload videos on YouTube
Imagine if Google seemed too complex
Imagine if using Tivo was as hard as using your VCR
Imagine if your iPod intimidated you
Imagine if customizing your Avatar wasn't any fun
Imagine if you couldn't figure out how to comment on this post
Imagine if buying offline was more convenient
Imagine if classifieds were easier than Craigslist
Imagine if the buttons on your mobile device didn't work
Imagine if running a blog was only for techies
Imagine if your bank teller was faster than your ATM
Imagine if del.icio.us wasn't
Imagine if I couldn't figure out how to publish this post
Imagine if all agencies and our clients took usability seriously?
A product, service or brand experience that isn't usable is like a barking dog without teeth. All bark, no bite and highly annoying.
Today is World Usability Day
Think like a designer, empathize with your users and create something usable.
