High Usability
This is a great example of a website with a high level of usability:
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/
I have been visiting this website for years. It has remained consistent and easy to use for years. The layout is simple and beautiful. You know that when you open this website you will be receiving professional, educational, and reliable information. National Geographic is a brand, a brand that has lasted over a century, and this website does that brand justice.
This is a perfect example of a website that has promoted its brand positively In fact, I got distracted reading the articles as I was working on this project. It only goes to show that a well designed and easy to use website will keep people coming back.

- This website has continued to have a consistent design for many years.
- The navigation is easy to use. It doesn't move around all over the page. It provides organized subcategories for each navigational link.
- The logo is displayed appropriately It neither takes up to much room nor is it to small that it blends into the background. It's perfect for the site layout.
- The website provides a great deal of information without overwhelming the user due to a consistent clear, and concise page layout. Information is grouped appropriately.
- White space is used appropriately.
- The color scheme is consistent.
- Overall, the most important aspect of usability that this website clearly displays is the easy to use simple and consistent design. There is a lot of information that has been organized perfectly and keeps the web site from appearing crowded.
- This could have been an example of a poor website if the above criteria were not met. This could have easily turned into a website with a lot of information. But with the skillful use of navigation and proper use of white space in the layout design, it turned into an organized professional website that is as respected as the magazine that it originates from.
