Week 2 Reading
Chapter 3, 4 and 5
Krug gives key points in what should be in the design of the website.Hierarchy is a key point in your design and how its used as he compares the construction of how the newspaper was formed with the headlines, contents and pictures. With good visual hierarchy it saves time, organizing and prioritizing its contents to grasp almost instantly. Page that doesn't have clear hierarchy makes user work more and slower to process.

Making it clickable is extremely important to the website for if the user can not find where to click then they are working more. The designer may know where to go on the website but does the user know, so keep it simple for the user to notice it.

We as in people don't read instruction until it's to late, we skip it, find it as useless words so beware of instructions for most will be passed over, so cut it down to bare minimum.
Happy talk is like small talk and users don't have time for small talk and want to get right to the beef. Keep the writing short and simple.
All around we design a site that should be simple to give directions on the site and not make users work to process the site.
