About this Guide
This guide aims to be the first step in a journey towards becoming an in-company expert in usability, which is central to the performance of your website (aka your ‘business’, if you’re selling online).
You can use the guide to discover what usability is all about: how it works, how to manage it, what pitfalls you need to avoid and why an investment in it can be a very smart move.
But you should view this guide as a jumping-off point. Other reports we have published go into much more detail about usability.
