There is no actual fact that decisions used to create the site are the best, the only fact is the site exist- your proclaimed ultimate truth I suppose. The site existance is not subjective, either is the process it was created- what is subjective is it's conclusion and how effective it is as being usable.
When you hide behind a word like usability based on definition you are OBJECTIVELY determining what is the best choice at being usable-
The users personal expierence SUBJECTIVELY determines if you were right or wrong.
thus there is really no such thing as "Usability" as a pre-determined notion or Nielson like paths to follow.
It's a fucking guessing game of hoping you made the right decisions and you can keep the target audience's attention.
A site with one button to deliver content is no more usable by definition of "an object that can be used" then a site with 20 buttons to do the same.
By computer geek talk definition of-
"The effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction with which users can achieve tasks in a particular environment of a product. High usability means a system is: easy to learn and remember; efficient, visually pleasing and fun to use; and quick to recover from errors"none of it is written in stone- when "satisfaction" is a key element of the term- or when certain user needs are not met.
time for bed.
Good night Fate...
honestly I wish us both well on our paths.
