Usability Guidelines
 1. Page Layout
      –      Structure for easy comparison: Users should be able
             to compare two pages easily
 2. Labels
      –      Use unique and descriptive headers: Headers
             should conceptually relate to the items in the section
      –      Highlight critical data: Visually distinguish important
             page items that require user attention

                    C                         2.9%

Usability Guidelines
 1. Page Layout
       –      Visually align page elements: Users can scan items
              easier
       –      Choose appropriate line lengths: Readers read
              faster (skim) when line lengths are long

Usability Guidelines
 1. Organize Information Clearly
      –      Clear and logical structure should be apparent to
             users
 2. Consistency
      –      Be consistent throughout: Users should not have to
             think
