Blog Topic #5: What is Usability?

How user friendly is a website. That is it in a nut shell. Will the user get bored or frustrated before he finds what he is looking for. The user need to be able to get what she wants quickly without thinking too much. Websites made dummy proof.
This is an important topic of web design because if is not usable it won't be used.
There is a whole week conference dedicated to Usability:

The Usability Week 2010 Conference

This is a site that I find easy to navigate. There are a number of ways you can get to the same place so you don't have to look long to get where you want to go. This website also helped with the design for my final project.
