Large commercial sites invested in full-scale usability studies just to ensure that their website will be as user friendly as possible.

We, as an owner of a small sites cannot afford such luxury. But we also need to find a way to identify the usability of our website so that our visitors will be comfortable with our website.

You have to make changes if you encounter the top 3 of the most common usability problems for a website.

1)Visitors of any websites have the patience to wait only as long as 10 seconds for a page to be loaded. We have to ensure that our website meet with this requirements. Pay attention to images to ensure they are properly optimized and do not excessively delay load time. Place your important content at the top of the page where it will load first. Avoid using Java applets, huge images, banner ads or flashy elements because it will slow down loading

2)You have to ensure that your content is relevance with your website. Do not include irrelevance contents because your visitors will feel irritated with it. A visitor of a website usually only want to find the informations they are looking for.

3)Pay close attention to your website design. Your visitor will feel discomfort due to ugly design or inconsistent design. Cleanly designed pages are pleasant to look at and easy to read. It takes no great design skills to create clean pages; it just requires thought and adherence to the principle that when it comes to design, less usually is more.
