Website Usability
Website usability considers how user friendly a website is to people with disabilities.
What usability issues should I consider?
As websites may be viewed by a wide range of users on a wide range of platforms,
standards have been introduced by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure website usability. W3C recommend that modern websites are
designed using standard HTML code and styled using Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS). This enhances website usability as it allows the greatest number of web browsers
to successfully interpret the code.
How do TNC develop websites to address usability issues?
TNC, whereever possible, develop websites which comply with these standard.
This enables those websites to be accessed by the widest possible audience. This will be of particular
importance to government funded bodies or other organisations concerned with equal opportunities. For
example, font sizes should not be fixed within the code so that users with poor eyesite can enlarge the fonts.
Also, the code should be structured in a logical order so that visually impaired users can still access the web
site using a text reader.
