IBM's
Web Design Guidelines
Welcome to the IBM Ease of Use Group's guidelines for
creating easy-to-use Web interfaces. Achieving ease of use
is essential for any site competing for business on the Web.
The competition is only a couple of clicks away, and if
users become dissatisfied, they can simply go elsewhere.
However, by following these guidelines and using a
user-centered design process, businesses can retain current
customers and attract new ones.

This information is most valuable for novice and
intermediate level Web designers, but contains tips and
