Common principles to website usability include easy to use navigation, design that works well with different devices, content that is presented in a clear way, quick load times, design with consistent elements across pages, and forms which are user friendly as well as accessible compliant. Menus used for navigation should be clear and follow a logical order while the website must be able to adapt itself when viewed from different devices so that it’s easy to use. Content should be presented clearly; headings can also help break up information into sections which are more easily readable – bullet points may be useful here too (readability). To speed up loading times you could minimize large images or enable caching among other options but keeping design elements consistent throughout will improve user experience. Forms should always have instructions beside them telling people what they need to do and validation where appropriate should ensure people fill them out correctly (user-friendly). All individuals should meet accessibility standards at all times
