DIGITAL INTERFACE DESIGN - Navigation Button (week 4)

1) How they display the navigation button?
 
Navigation buttons are widely seen on the top of a website layout as it can be see easily by the viewers and make it easier to work on that website. But sometimes, its also depend on certain website design.

2) Why they need navigation button?

Website with no navigation buttons it will be like not a website. As, navigation buttons that make up a website and if its no navigation buttons, the website will be not functional. Furthermore, they need it in order to access the website page by page and the look through all the way inside the website.

3) When they need navigation button?

They need it when they have to click on another section like page. For example, in certain website, if there is no navigation buttons, the user have to click on ‘Back’. It’ll be troublesome for them. It’s when we need the navigation buttons as websites have their own navigation buttons either on the top of it or by left or right of the website.


4) Can navigation buttons to be complicated or simple design?

Simple. As it’ll be easy for the user to find out the ‘navigation’. If it’s complicated, user would find a difficulty to access a certain website.

Visual Usability

1. What is the visibility space in the interface?

 Visibility is a user interface is only valued when the user interactions achieve their purpose .Visibility is all about how clearly the user sees state of the interface and all the possible actions.

2. Percentage of the usability interface.

Surveyed had been made and widely distributed. Then, we received 74 responses. The percentage of the usability interface are 48% of the code is devoted to the user interface portion. The average time spent on the user interface portion is 45% during the design phase, 50% during the implementation phase, and 37% during the maintenance phase. 34% of the systems were implemented using a toolkit, 27% used a UIMS, 14% used an interface builder, and 26% used no tools. The projects using only toolkits spent the largest percentage of the time and code on the user interface (around 60%) compared to around 45% for those with no tools. This appears to be because the toolkit systems had more sophisticated user interfaces. The projects using UIMSs or interface builders spent the least percent of time and code on the user interface (around 41%) suggesting that these tools are effective.
