They are intended to help Web designers and developers consider crucial communicative aspects of Web site design. http://tc.eserver.org/10406.html http://tc.eserver.org/10406.html This article describes the role of heuristics in the Web design process. The five sets of heuristics that appear in this issue are also described, as well as the research methods used in their development. The heuristics were designed to help designers and developers of Web pages or sites to consider crucial communicative aspects of Web site design. Also previewed is a sixth article that presents a framework for characterizing and analyzing the broad variety of heuristics that are available for Web designers.
