Aesthetics and Usability: A Look at Color and Balance by Laurie Brady and Christine Phillips
“As websites continue to fight for the attention of potential users, designers must begin to look not only at the inherent usability of the site, but also its perceived usability. For instance, Tractinsky (1997) found a correlation between perceived usability and aesthetics when investigating ATM machines. Subjects based their overall opinion of the usability of the ATM on the “look” of the machine. Moreover, in examining users’ first impression of websites, Shenkman and Jonsson (2000) found that the best predictor for the overall judgment by typical users of a website was its beauty.”
Un article bien documenté et basé sur une étude bien approfondie. Vous pouvez consulter autant la méthodologie que les résultats et conclusions… et comprendre l’importance de la esthétique comme un autre domaine inhérent à l’utilisabilité.
