If the new page doesn’t meet users’ expectations, the Back button is clicked and the search process is continued.\n\n\nUsers don’t read, they scan.\nWeb users are impatient and insist on instant gratification. \nUsers don’t make optimal choices. \nUsers follow their intuition. \nUsers want to have control. \n\n1. Don’t make users think\n2. Don’t squander users’ patience\n3. Manage to focus users’ attention\n4. Strive for feature exposure\n5. Make use of effective writing\n6. Strive for simplicity\n7. Don’t be afraid of the white space\n8. Communicate effectively with a “visible language”\n9. Conventions are our friends\n10. Test early, test often\n
