Usability and the utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web-site. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist.

I like this article a lot. I think just about everything said in reference to user experience can directly relate to search engine robot experience as well. Very well put together.

A really great article that well demonstrated the principles it advocated.  New for me was the 10th item, TETO - Test early, test often.  That’s my find of the day. :)

Good article. Viewers (who don’t do web design or SEO), just want neat site and easy to navigate and loads fast. Of course, let us not forget the content.
