Abstract:
A Web site interface is a complex mix of text,
links, graphic elements, formatting and other
aspects that affect the site’s overall quality. The
concepts of traditional software engineering
usability guidelines can be applied to measure
the Web interface quality. Several Metrics were
proposed to correspond with items that Web
usability guideline associate with good design,
such as word count, total page size in bytes, body
text percentage, average link text count and
others. In this paper, we propose the simple
metrics that were used to measure, categorized
by collected data source from health and
education websites in order to judge the web
page quality. The goal of the system is to provide
the practical establishment for Web site design
guidelines and also propose which metrics can
be most important for evaluation by means of
user studies. These simple metrics is intended to
measure a quantitative analysis of several
attributes of Web page layout and composition
and their relation to usability.
