Unique Original Articles » More Than Just Frames and Flickers

Doing a little tweaking for website usability is just that, little pulls and pushes there. It doesn’t have to be major makeovers. It’s as simple as giving titles to frames to identify them easily as well as navigate them.

Needless to say, these frames are quite important since they divide the browser into several areas. Each of these areas presents related information. Have you noticed that links for navigating the site are placed in one panel, the left side, for example, and the main information is found on the right side of the home page? This way you won’t have the chance to disturb your navigational links each time you browse for information.

Any disabled user will find this quite handy since it will keep them oriented when frames are used. Any visually impaired user when shown titles for frames will understand what the frame is all about and its functions too.

Flickers are something that a site developer should work on besides frames. Web pages should be designed in a way that won’t cause the site to flicker with more than 2Hz frequency, and less than 55Hz. I don’t know about you but when a site gives me that irritating flicker and it happens too often than usual, it makes me want to log out all of a sudden.

It has even harder impact on users who are epileptic. Some of them are ultra photosensitive. A trigger can cause seizures, and it’s the last thing you want for an epileptic.

It’s a good thing though that recent monitor releases are not likely to set off flickers. Technology has found a way to improve it and provide some assistance for the special needs of disabled users.

Most of the things discussed here to ensure the site’s usability are small details that site developers are more likely to take for granted. Well, only the best knows not to forget the basics.
