Why should we all suffer an interface that is unusable?

“If you want to reach the greatest number of users possible, it’s best to write clearly and simply and design your interfaces to be consistent from page to page. For some people, simple usability advice like this is an absolute accessibility need… And anyway, people of all abilities fail tasks that are confusing. Why should we all suffer an interface that proves itself to be unusable?” – Matt May

Read Matt’s article “Accessibility From the Ground Up” from Digital Web Magazine for his thoughts on creating accessible designs.

1. A wonderful interface to the wrong features will fail
2. A coherent product user interface is the product to users
3. Design is more than the aesthetic. Design is fundamentally more.
4. Become an advocate for accessibility and everyone’s experience
5. Treat your audience less like a faceless user and more like a human being
