AuctioneerTech: Click here, don’t break the back button

Brandon · 9 months ago

There is still a significant portion of internet users that do not understand where to click, unless you tell them "click here". I know, because I work with several of them.

I agree. However, one of the most insightful quotes about this topic I've found came from a talk given by someone at Google who noted that their position was to design for the expert. If you do, the novice will quickly become an expert. That's why there aren't any instructions on the Google home page.

I don't think that we designers should hurt our sites by catering to the novice users. If someone is interested in the content of the website, and the links are clearly defined by a site's color scheme, he/she won't have a problem and will quickly learn to use the site - and the rest of the Internet.
