Attack of the Killer Conventions
Attack of the Killer Conventions is an nice little article by David Walker that points out emerging web design conventions. If you want to make your site easier to use, he states, follow the conventions laid down by the majority of other sites. Yes, Jakob Nielsen predicted this a long time ago by saying that “users prefer your site to work the same way as all of the other sites they already know.” Of course this is true for many other design disiplines, in that users prefer similiar things to work the same way (books, faucets, doors, etc.), so is this really anything new?
