Low End Users


             A site’s usability, first and foremost, must be measured in terms of the customers’ capabilities, not organized to complement the Web site’s purpose-whether that purpose is to sell products, convey information, or provide tools by which users can find the information that people seek in small units.
            Web sites are typically laid out in hierarchical organization schemes, and guide users through the site via navigation path.  That is, it points users toward various broad sectors of the site from the home page, and with each click the user gets closer to the precise information they want.  They trick in devising this organization scheme is to make it obvious to user with out necessarily calling attention to itself.  All things being equal, designers generally want to create navigation path ensures that, no matter where users are on a site and no matter how many clicks from the home page they are they still have a clear sense of where they are on the site, particularly in relation the home page and the major subsections.
