Flow in Web Design - 02/14/2008

Hey, thanks for your comment. The retails site Play.com seems to have a good flow to it. Notice how if you choose something, add it to basket, log -in, purchase and confirm the order its clicking a similar sized, shaped, coloured button positioned in the middle of your screen every time, this means you don't have to think about completing any of the actions, it almost become a heuristic to people who buy there on a regular basis. YouTube also has good flow built into it's design, you can actually go between things you want without ever touching the keyboard, click an interesting video from homepage, it loads and plays itself, when it's finished it suggested similar videos in the same visual space as well as related videos to the author on the right and popular videos (i think) across the bottom. In contrast a website with bad flow is the Yahho (UK at least) homepage. It has so much copy you struggle to see a natural progression through the site and that is mainly because there isn't one. I am not having a go at Yahoo, they have to hit a lot of niche buttons with one homepage it just lacks the concept discussed in this article greatly.
