The usabilidad of intranets and pages Web, an objective with common rules
ZippySolutions manages to improve the image of the organizations by means of the formal and technical quality of the contents of their platforms
The beginning of a platform Web always requires an initial exposition that later facilitates so much the update work as the rescue of contents of those Webs. And it is worth so much for intranets as for extranets, Webs of public access or sites corresponding to which nowadays Web 2.0 is called.
The common point of all of them is that an user group, who can be more or less ample, rescues data of his pages. If an Intranet or one extranet is destined more to restricted sets, as they can be the members of a company or the portfolio of clients of this one, respectively, in those of public access anyone can see what “somebody� has introduced in them.
In that “somebody� it is the difference between the most habitual pages and those than they are inserted in the novel tendency of the 2,0, since in these last users they are also feed who them. With intranets and extranets happens something similar: several or all the members of a company can hang contents in her in first, but not therefore the clients in the case of second.
The denominator common in all of them is that the information has to be accessible, something intimately related to the usabilidad of the Web. That is to say, besides being able to accede to any turn of this one (whenever therefore their promoters decide), he must be easy to do it. The trip by the Web has to be most intuitive possible.
And for it, the ones in charge of their update have to be able to equip it with contents that also are it, within a page with technically well constructed perfectly organized previous structure and.
In case of intranets, the employees they must be in force by common rules that they turn each accessible document to the others into pieces that really are it.
Questions like the name of the file, the possibility of including key words that they help to index it, a standard cover or a design that do not increase its size in bytes very out of proportion (its “weight�) help to a later simple search and unloading.
In the same way, and in the case of the information introduced for its direct readout in the Web (HTML, flash…), the cleaning of the text contributes to the same aim. Brevity, orthographic and syntactic correction or update frequent are three notes that help it.
Only of this form (facility of access and correction) it is possible to transmit, as much inside as outside the company, the idea of quality. And it contributes to improve the image of mark of a so effective form (if not more) than a great investment in an advertizing campaign.
