Usability Research: Key Findings 2005
A nice summary of findings ...
"Originally written by the Pragmatic Ergonomist, Dr. Eric Schaffer.
- BROWSE OR SEARCH
On sites with clear labels and prominent navigation options, users tend to browse rather than search. Searching is no faster than browsing in this context. (Katz and Byrne 2003)
- COLOR AND GRAPHICS
Users pay attention to what they are paying attention to. Sometimes things that are quite obvious to the designer are invisible to the viewer/ users. (Simons and Chabris, 1999)
Color, shared background and co-location are stronger grouping cues than outlines. (Beck and Palmer, 2002) Layout on a Web page (white space and advanced layout of headers, indentation, and figures) may not measurably influence performance, but it does influence satisfaction. (Chaperro, Shaikh, and Baker, 2005)" continued ... (Via Robin Good)
