Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Here is another of our popular posts published in 2017. This is a step by step guide to help teachers create class websites using the new Google Sites. Teachers will particularly learn how to add pages and content to their website, how to change the background and edit their site, and how to make their newly created site accessible to the world.

Whether you work in a museum, special library, or archive, your web presence is important. In my last post I wrote about usability. In this post, I will share information about the second subsection of user experience design: user interface design.

 

According to the Interaction Design Foundation, “User interface (UI) design is the process of making interfaces in software or computerized devices with a focus on looks or style. Designers aim to create designs users will find easy to use and pleasurable. UI design typically refers to graphical user interfaces but also includes others, such as voice-controlled ones.

You’ll never have a second chance to make that first impression – which is why your website’s design is undoubtedly one of the most critical things you should pay attention to.

Within 3 seconds, website visitors will decide whether to engage with your website or leave. Even though your website is probably chocked full of quality information that the visitor would be interested in, the general flow and look of your site can be the deal maker or breaker.
