Site Seeing: Technically. It's a Lexicon: Technical Considerations


- The author lists some technical considerations for web usability and they seem to be right. You need to have your web page be accessible to as many people as possible. This includes doing things like responding to customers quickly and so forth. This makes it easier for web traffic to move along smoothly and efficiently.

- It is important to optimize a web page for download time. You want your web site to be as small as possible. The smaller it is, the faster it will load, the easier it will be for other people to view it.

- If a user is downloading a large file from your site, it is important to provide them with feedback telling them that the download could take a little bit. Otherwise, the user might not know what is going on and end up leaving your site. If you put feedback, that tells the user that your website or file is actually doing something.

- When creating a website, you need to remember that the Web presents its own language. On a commerce site, a shopping cart signifies a place where the items you want to buy are stored. If you replace a shopping cart on your commerce site with something else, this might confuse the viewer.

- Links are very significant to a website. If you are linking to web pages within your site, than you would want to use an internal link. This keeps your audience focused on your site and allows them to browse.
