Usability matters
Usability matters. Usability is about making life a little easier, regardless of whether it’s a plastic basin, multi-featured dishwasher, complex software or a website. If it doesn’t serve the primary purpose of making life easier, then what’s the point?
Got your own usability peeves?
Is it those handles on doors that need to be pushed or Tesco’s new self-service tills? What usability peeves get your goat? Leave us a comment and we’ll blog about them and maybe even talk about them on national radio!
Go raibh mile maith agat, Newstalk
The recording comes courtesy of the most lovely and accommodating Mairead O’Dwyer from the Moncrieff show on NewsTalk 106-108. Thanks Mairead!
