Why usability is important

Usability is necessary for business survival. A usable interface is likely to create customer loyalty, and drive business success.

 

Why usability is Important to You

A usable product makes your end-users happy. And customer satisfaction drives business success. It's all about getting the task done with minimum effort and maximum satisfaction, which implies engineering the solution to exceed the user's expectations.

A Competitive Edge

Usability is necessary for business survival. As Jakob Nielsen, (nnGroup), observes about web interfaces:

“On the Web, usability is a necessary condition for survival. If a website 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. If users get lost on a website, they leave. If a website's information is hard to read or doesn't answer users' key questions, they leave. Note a pattern here? There's no such thing as a user reading a website manual or otherwise spending much time trying to figure out an interface. There are plenty of other websites available; leaving is the first line of defense when users encounter a difficulty.”

 

The only way to delight users is to create what they want, in a form that they find intuitive.

 

Success is likely if you create a product that delights its intended audience. Price and other factors are important, but satisfaction has become a dominant consideration.
