Bone up on your usability techniques

August 07, 2001

As usability versus design arguments go I have long been right in the middle of the debate. Despite all the arguments from the web usability purists that websites without graphics have a higher degree of usability, I have yet to be fully convinced. There are so many things that cannot be conveyed very well soley by the written word. Effective design and graphics in a delicate balance with web usability techniques can create very effective sites.

Those of you that may be interested in learning more about this delicate balance should take a stroll to usable web. As a longtime reader of this site, I can vouch for the diverse opinions and high quality articles listed there. It is well worth the read.
