Abstract

Most website design projects involve small to medium-sized sites consisting of between ten and fifty pages. Such projects require designers to operate on a tight schedule and a very limited budget. With tightly constrained resources, how can we maintain a high standard of design and create usable and useful products? This tutorial presents a practical approach to applying usability techniques in website design. Our design process includes techniques for project management, dealing with clients, sketching and comping techniques for quickly producing high-quality alternatives, and a set of website design guidelines.
