Consistency of Signposting and pop-up Information
- Next and previous buttons, pop-up menus, icons, etc. should all look the same from screen to screen and in the same position
On-screen Help
- Help screens should explain things in the simplest of terms and using examples does this the best
- Software should recognise and anticipate the users' goals and give assistance to make the task easier -> Microsoft use wizards (complete task quicker)
Layout Appropriate to Task
- Interface teaching children to spell should have minimal text, bright colours, be uncluttered, have minimal keyboard use and use speech synthesis so they can hear words
Interface for CAD should be customisable, minimise mouse movements, use large screens and allow other input devices to be used
