Usability is a critical portion of web design that one must be ever mindful of when constructing websites. Whether creating a personal web space or building multiple pages for a large corporation, it is the burden of the designer to guarantee people can access that content. According to the United Nations, disabled people compose roughly 10 percent of the world’s population (United Nations, 2010). Many regulations and standards have been set forth to provide disabled people with the same opportunities to access content available on the World Wide Web, as it is most of the World’s population.

Each day we find ourselves more and more reliant on technology. Our dependence on computers and smart phones has naturally produced some major advancement in technology. Though both exciting and liberating, major advancements in technology have also produced some unforeseen consequences. People with disabilities, for example, have increasingly faced barriers to access and enjoy the same technology we often take for granted every day. In 1998, the US Congress sought to alleviate this problem by amending the Rehabilitation Act. Specifically, Congress enacted Section 508, requiring Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities.

The research into Charity and Non Profit organisations is to investigate how the guidelines for accessibility of website design from the W3c and the British Standards BS8878 are followed. The websites that have been built by web developers where sent a seven question questionnaire to discover what standards the web developers followed, their identity was gathered from the websites they developed.

Hunting for the correct information is not a problem with the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s (UAH) website. While some websites lose their users among clutter or badly named tabs, UAH’s website keeps their visitors interested and on track. Since these visitors are usually families exploring the school, it is important to have an efficient website. Without this efficiency, a prospective student could be deterred from further pursuing the school. As a college website that provides information and services to prospective students, current students, and parents, the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s website successfully contains pleasurable design, vibrant readability, and fluent navigation.

A website is used by different people for different uses. Each website can be evaluated for its usefulness by the general public based on certain criteria as discussed in this article.

According to the Australian Department of Social Services (2012), web accessibility is not just about making sure websites are usable for those with disabilities’; it is about making sure that a website can be used by as many people as is possible. This could include making sure websites are accessible for people on a variety of different devices, those with impaired abilities, the elderly, and people from a different cultural backgrounds who may struggle with the native language (W3C, 2005). Websites that are designed to be accessible are generally much more usable for everyone, not just those who may need certain accessibility features (Riley-Huff, 2012). It is important that websites are as accessible as possible not only to allow them

College websites serve a variety of purposes for prospective and current students, which include, but are not limited to, generating information, data collection, and facilitating online transactions. Accelerated accessibility of web presence through a variety of platforms, from desktops to smartphones, propels websites to the forefront of many colleges’ introduction to prospective students. The aesthetic composition of websites is as significant as is practicality in our modern technological age, and mastery or shortcomings in either attribute can engender positive or negative assumptions respectively from visitors. Approximately 80 percent of website visitors assume that the design of a website is reflective of the entity it represents, according to researchers (Lowry 63). Subsequently, I have decided to conduct an analysis of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School’s (AJMLS) website (Front) due to recent interactions with the site while applying for admission. During this essay, I will explore the aesthetics, practicality, and inconsistencies inherent in the site when accessed on mobile platforms as compared to desktops.

Software companies should renovate their websites based on modernized use of the internet. They should be aware that the internet is used differently now than it used to be, and that more people use it as a means of bridging communication gaps with people that they don’t know. They should find ways to keep people educated about social issues in a well-distributed

Developing Web contents involves shaping and making many choices involving technical, aesthetic, and usability concerns. With the expanding technical options for communication on the World Wide Web, it is tempted to focus only on issues such as hypertext markup language (HTML) syntax, page layout, or the latest and flashiest technologies. However, there needs to be a broader approach in order to articulate the information content that is to be conveyed. There is also a need to pay attention to the characteristics and qualities of the Website as a medium for communication so that there are not merely duplicate practices intended for paper and other media.

Scapin and colleagues [53] define Web Usability Guidelines (WUG) as “statement[s] ensuring some adequacy of a particular user interface of a website with respect to a particular context of use where a given user population has to fulfill interactive tasks with a given system”. WUG has been used to extensively evaluate health websites and some PHR both for seniors and younger adults [56, 57]. A Popular WUG is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guideline also called the Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG). It is a universal guideline aimed at ensuring that web content is accessible to people with disability (age related or not). A more senior specific guideline is the checklist from the National Institute of Aging and National Library of Medicine. Its principles are quite similar to the WCAG except for some exclusions which may or may not limit its usefulness (see Table

It is the way through which users interact with the interface by scrolling the page or clicking the buttons to perform the required actions. When designing the websites, you have to keep these patterns in mind and design the website accordingly.
