Minor Project 17

Nike's website has a really nice layout. the navigation is really easy to use and the content is extremely easy to access, It does not take much thought at all. http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nike/en_US/?l=nikestore,pdp,_pdp,cid-1/gid-119175/pid-114068

This MIA website gives you a headache. the pages do not follow similar formats and the navigation is not consistent. http://www.miauk.com/


What does satisficing mean?
Not choosing the best option, but one that simply does the job.

Name a convention in web design that is your "friend" explain why.
consistent navigations is a convention that makes a website a whole lot friendlier

Do you agree that making choices mindless makes a site easy to use?
Yes, it is always best to make your sites so the viewer does not have to put a lot of effort into it. The viewer could easily skip your site and move to the next if they were not finding your website easy to navigate.

Omit needless words. Why?
Yes, as part of an efficient website there does not need to be a lot of verbiage. A website should offer up the meaty content without a lot of effort.

Happy talk must die. Why?
The viewers are there for the content. Using happy talk just wastes their time.

Instructions must die. Why?
If any part of your website requires directions, you should go back to the drawingboard because there are many ways to present content in simple and intuitive ways.
