2. Smart Help

The most relevant help document is always displayed with the feature you are working on. It is one click away.

Easy Editor

The easy editor works just like your favorite word processor. When you click to edit a page, the easy editor appears. You can immediately start using it like you would your word processor:

text editor

No downloads or installations required.

With the easy editor you can:

  • change fonts
  • change font size
  • bold
  • italicize
  • align left, center, or right
  • add bullets and lists
  • add links
  • change colors

Ease of Use Guidelines

All these techniques are used to maximize ease of use:

  • More time is spent making ExactWebsites easy to use than on any other feature.
  • Live user testing is used to test ease of use
  • The site builder is improved daily using user feedback

Ease of use goals

These are some of the stated goals:

  • A basic website must not take longer than five minutes to set up
  • Editing a web page must not take longer than one minute
  • Make it so easy that your mom, dad and friends can use it

The last one, while humorous, is the leading force of innovation in ease of use.
