Less is more!

  • Yahoo! is the most visited site on the Web, for very good reasons

    • Other search engines may be more powerful or offer more comprehensive search options, but they offer too much, take too long to load... etc

  • Estimates suggest that 90% of commercial web sites are unusable, with only 24% implementing usability studies

People try to do too much

Is simplicity best?

Many mistakes being made, but people continue to use the Web because they don't know how much better it could be!

What is needed:

  • No frames

  • Less graphics

  • Readable text

  • More standards/consistency, inc. backwards compatibility

  • Acknowledgement of the multimedia fallacy

  • Looking cool does not equate to being cool

  • Pages should work!
