All suggestions Way

All suggestions Way One of the best ways to make your site easier to use, information about your visitors, where possible. You may think that sounds easy enough, but the amount of time necessary to do so, and the number of things that makes a lot of web - designer. Visitors Do not Know your site, I am of the opinion that the vast majority of site visitors are expected to participate for the first time - some of them can be loyal visitors retu again and again, but the mode web is more than immersed inbound and outbound use of search engines and links from other websites. If there is a kind of process through which visitors must be something on your site, one can not assume that they are unfamiliar with her. For this reason it is important to dispel suggestions on your website. If there is something that seems mysterious, if not earlier, tips are automatically or easily accessible, if you must know what to do. Question Mark Icons One of the easiest ways to do this, is the question of the icons next to things you think could be a source of confusion. For example, on a web page, where people have their water bill, I saw this: On-line billing name: ____ Name: Account No ____. ____ [?] Pay attention to the question mark next to the field for account number - that was because, of course, not all the users who know the heart, or where to find it. A click on the flashing question mark is a picture of a paper bill, with an arrow, where the account number can be found. Unless you want to ask customers, "what the account number?" It's the best way of things. Alt text Alt text is the content of the images' ALT tags - that is, the text that you created in your image tag alt attribute, as follows: The main objective of this text is to provide an alteative form of display browser without images, and blind. But it has also another purpose: as "suggestions" which hints. If you have a small printer icon, for example, click and the effect that the current article to be amended to reflect the CSS and then print to print and make the alteative text is: now, when the users move the mouse pointer on the icon of the printer, the text "print this article appears as a tooltip - ie, black text on a yellow rectangle. This is useful for users to know what happens when you click on parts of your site without having to use a text next to all that - especially if they are good for the limited space, or expects a lot of people to your site mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDA browsers. Javascript, finally, one of the best ways to secure your suggestions sensitive help is the use of Javascript. Not only can we improve Alt-fields to display text more beautiful with JavaScript, but you can also specify in a completely automatic. For example, you can have a form, which asks that anyone with the State and date of birth: State: _____ Date of Birth: _____ Using Javascript OnFocus case, one can easily write a little 'code, so that not only the range of visitors is now entering, but also a touch - so when I entered my state, it can say "two letters that is OK - only CA or New York", and if I wrote the date of birth the invitation says "DD / MM / YYYY". What does this achieve? Well, it gives you instructions, if necessary, without the clarity of the page or in small, weak text, which is difficult to see. Your site context-sensitive when it comes to supporting things done for users is one of the main keys to a better usability.
