Simplifying Website Usability: The 3 Step Approach



Simplicity is key to any successful website or web app.
If your site is too complicated, the user will have to go through too many hoops to find what they are looking for and won’t even bother trying it out.
The Jackson 5 got it right back in the 70′s when they sang “easy as 123″.
A simple and effective approach is to break down your services, signups and checkouts into 3 easy steps. This will improve usability, increase sales, signups and conversion rates.
In this article, we’ll take a look at 20 great examples of the 3 step approach for effective website usability.
