This reading discusses the three vital topics of websites. These issues refer to Usability, Structure and Navigation.
What exactly is Usability? It refers to who is using the website, for what reasons, how they are using it, and what they’ll do with their information.
What is Structure? On a website it connects the sections in which users can access.
What is Navigation? It is the way in which a user explores and moves around in a website, it is dependent on the structure of the website.
He also discusses the differences between navigating through a website and reading actual texts and printed materials.
Johnson-Eiola claims that if there is too many words on a website, a user may not want to navigate on the web page too long. Also, printed documents and materials are usually read. More than just being read, he claims that websites are used.
