Exploring Usability Design
The website I’m choosing is https://ebird.org/home . While I don’t visit this website daily, I do think it uses the three key principles of usability design effectively. For some background, eBird is a website that bird watchers use to log the birds that they’ve seen. The homepage prompts you to enter more bird sightings, making the site efficient. eBird’s secondary goal is to share bird related scientific information through articles and online courses, which leads to the users’ satisfaction. eBird also displays the user’s statistics on its homepage, which makes the site effective because it accomplishes its main purpose of telling users’ their bird watching data. One thing eBird could improve upon is their user summary page. I think it is from an old version of the website, and it jarring to see the modern design of the most popular pages then the old style on the user summary page.
