Web usability 101

A definition of “Web Usability” according to Jakob Nielsen:

Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word “usability” also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.

With this in mind, can someone please tell me how I actually get into this site?

    Hey Colin,

    Long time no chat but its always nice to catch your posts and see whats on your mind.

    Now, I don’t know if you were being facetious, but *if* you weren’t, try http://www.greenleaves.co.za/i.....ge912.html

    Not that the links work from there anyway… Looks like a whole lot of the code has been commented out.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say this is a -3 :P

    Thanks for the great investigative work Sam ;-)

    Someone needs to tell these people that embedding links into static graphics don’t work so good!

    On usability stuff-ups, how do I click on the menu of this site: http://www.nkonkabushlodge.co.za/
    if I access it through firefox (works fine in IE)?

    Simple.

    1) Right click, view source
    2) Find the most useful-looking link: http://www.greenleaves.co.za/i.....lelist.xml
    3) Cut and paste a random html page from the list, hoping it’s the page you want to view

    I don’t know what all the fuss is about really.
