Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Usability and Accessibility Market will grow by 25% this Year, claims Research

The combined UK usability and accessibility market will be worth more than £100m in 2005, according to research published by E-consultancy, the London-based internet marketing group.

The forecast is taken from E-consultancy's 175-page "Usability and Accessibility Buyer’s Guide 2005". The guide includes 3 pages of best practice tips (a checklist to help buyers choose the right partner) and 21 in-depth vendor profiles as well as the result of the market research conducted at the start of this year.

The UK market, worth £90m in 2004, will grow by a further 25% in 2005, to between £108m to £117m, driven by increased awareness of the benefits of improved website usability and accessibility. (Via Usability News)
