Web usability plays a pivotal role which can actually effect the profit of a company. It should be valued that a qualify web site can provide simple but attracting interface that allowing users to catch their needed information effectively and efficiently. Otherwise, once the customers realize that it is hard to find the needed information or the product they want to buy, they are likely to quit the size. Unfortunately, not all the companies understand the importance of this theory.

These usability evaluation methods allowed us to recognize the major flaws of the website, also assisted to identify the key features and aspects of the website which have to be improved.

Even if a website has good information architecture and content, poor design can take away from the two elements and negatively affect the usability of the site. According to Johnson, successful web design is minimalistic and easily readable with font choices and color palettes (39). The design of Sassy Fox’s website is either extremely busy and misleads users or is minimalistic to a fault. Examples of these extremes are the website’s header and user forms.

E-commerce is transactions conducted via electronic means such as the internet, email and SMS. It is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the internet to appear. As a result, people are able to exchange goods and services immediately regardless of their geographic location and time. More and more businesses conduct transactions on line, with some trading purely on-line thus reducing overheads and administrative costs.

The e-commerce website is a relatively new initiative, launched only in December 2012. In early 2014, the e-commerce sales made about 9% of sales with the goal to grow “to around 25% in the future” (Singh, 2014). As the website features most of the products presented in the physical stores, e-commerce is expected to turn into a great conversion tool, in general, and in the international market, in particular.

Most of the world has been affected by the great influence technology has had upon us. Just a few decades ago, there were no such things as the Internet, websites, and mass produced digital technologies. The Internet is a critical aspect to the lives of most people on Earth. Whether people are using the Internet as part of the global economy or posting personal information on FaceBook, terms such as usability are very important. The paper will evaluate a website specifically dedicated to usability and spreading methods of effective usability. Websites take time, energy, and money to build; to build a website that people do not visit or that has low usability is a waste of those resources. Usability is a significant aspect to the lives of people who heavily rely on the Internet and without adequate website usability, the Internet would collapse.

E-commerce is a product that has been available since the early 90’s. It is something that people are familiar with. A product that is now part and parcel of people’s lives.

The study of and analysing aesthetic scopes of web page design and how design affects attractiveness is vital for HCI designers which will enable them to implement and produce a suitable system for users which meets their requirements. It is imperative that the HCI designer takes into consideration the necessary factors related to attractiveness and unattractiveness of websites. It is imperative that the design of the website must include technical and low-level aspects making sure that it interacts with each other. There has been research relating to design concepts.

Government designers are striving to create challenging websites with easy to operate interfaces, better accessibility and more genuine and useful content, by assimilating a wish list of user's database requirements. In addition, they involve in building prototypes and organize well documented usability tests with emphasis on patterns and population census, with core knowledge packaged into specific guidelines (for user-centered web users) and lessons learned (case studies) (Sanjay, 2002).

Usability comes in many forms, and has many ingredients to it. For a start, the layout is the most important. You can have good graphics but bad layout, and your site is ruined. Not thinking further than your own computer screen is a big mistake. If a page does not fit my screen when I open it up it already lost some points, so standardised width is a bonus that all good sites have. Even if you don 't fill up the screen on bigger resolutions, having it usable on all is n good point (like nokia.com or cnn.com). Where you place everything is going to make it a good site or not.

On the Web, usability is a necessary condition for survival. If a web site is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. ~ Jakob Nielsen
