Chapter 10 talks about usability as a common courtesy. It discusses why it is important for your website to be easy to use so that the user knows what they are looking at and how to use it. Basically, does the user “get” your website? Make sure your website is clear and that it is offering all the necessary information to the navigator. If you treat the user badly, they most likely will not return. If they have a negative experience on your site, there is a good chance that they will think differently about your entire company. Stay away from things that will diminish your goodwill; such as hiding information, asking for unnecessary information, having an amateur site, etc. Keep all these things in mind, and your site should provide common courtesy.
Chapter 11 discusses accessibility to your website. Can every user navigate their way around your website? This includes users with disabilities. You could look up tons of reasons why this is a necessity to your website. This provides equal rights to all users and it is a law. Designers and developers tend to stay away from this designing for accessibility because it creates more work for them and it can sometimes compromise that look of their design. All in all, accessibility is very important and shouldn’t be overlooked.
