Basic Usability Ideas for Intuitive Design

Media_httpspeckycdnsd_ahxxi

I have always loved playing with different interfaces and determining what feels natural vs what feels awkward or difficult. Web designers do not always sit down to consider just how important the user experience can be. You want to provide the simplest path for new users to achieve one goal to the next.

In this article I want to share some ideas for basic, fundamental truths to building a usable interface. Designing a website is challenging even as a generic idea of colors, widgets, and wireframe mockups. But if you can sit down to consider the interface challenges first, the details fill in much neater and your design talent will flourish.

Facebook Timeline is the new profile look of Facebook. It helps you tell your life story through photos, friendships and personal milestones like graduating or traveling to new places. On the top you get a wide space to put a picture of yours that represents you the best. In timeline you can share and highlight your most memorable photos and life events from beginning to now.
