Why Consistency is Critical
Consistency is the cornerstone of a positive user experience. But consistency means more than simply putting your nav at the top left, your search on the right. Gerry explores consistency, explaining what it is, why it's important, and the areas where consistency counts.
Consistency makes business sense. It allows you to develop a small set of templates for pages and other design elements, and apply them throughout the site. It makes writing, publishing and maintenance easier, and supports the implementation of XML, CSS and other technologies that rely on structured content.
While some developers consider consistency to be a straitjacket, it also has many benefits. It removes the need to make the same decision time and again (will our field labels be left-aligned or right-aligned?), and it enables the use of templates and pre-defined snippets of code.
