Description

Building a user interface that meets the needs of a diverse population can be incredibly difficult. Research the best practices for developing a universally usable interface, as well as some of the federal legislation that applies (i.e., section 508).

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Assess at least five (5) best practices for developing a universally usable interface.
  2. Evaluate how section 508 affects developing user interfaces and assess this compliancy standard’s impact on users.
  3. Give three (3) examples of available tools for verifying that your interfaces meet universal design guidelines and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
  4. Examine the practicality of building multiple interface options for diverse populations, rather than building one (1) interface that meets the needs of the majority of end users.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

using an interface that is lagging behind and is irresponsive to the tapping of the keyboard and
mouse clicking can diminish user experience and cause frustrations. The interface should always
move swiftly with the user to prevent them from feeling disconnected from the interface. Even
with impressive software, a slow interface can give an individual the impression of faulty and
poor software.

Intuitive and convenient designs

Controls and information in the interface must be provided consistently and intuitively to
improve usage. While giving users an entirely new layout often sounds like a paradigm-breaking
project, it could disconnect the users with the interfaces they are well acquainted with. The
design process should take into consideration the logic of usability in order to have the most
