The World Wide Web has become a vital information channel and interaction medium. Organisations not only want to be 'on the web', but to use it to their advantage. For web sites to be effective, they must be easy to use. Usability considerations are an essential complement to the graphical and technical work of web development. There are no general interface design guidelines for web interfaces.
Designers often have different opinions about what is good or bad web design.
There is a constant stream of latest features to 'try out' in a design, but poor knowledge of how users understand them. What the designer sees is often not what the user gets the actual usage environment can be vastly different to that which a designer assumes. The number of web sites and web users is rapidly expanding, so user requirements and experience vary greatly. Nomos has a wide range of 'tried and tested' user-centred tools and methods developed around international usability standards, tailored to support the process of web design and evaluation. This is vital if a web site is to meet the needs of its intended users.
