Users Needs

In deciding users needs it is essential to look at your web page project as containing several layers.

Garrett explains all these layers in The Elements of Users Experience and divides them into five categories:

  1. The Surface Plane: contains the table cover of your web page: everything your mouse can click on producing a result: an image to a website, a link sending you in a different place on same web page.You may want to use all the users' senses use user senses to get them involved and interested in your web page.
  2. The Skeleton Plane: the way you decide to arrange the elements of your page: the boxes, buttons, photos. The skeleton plane has to do with the form you will see on your web page, magnified to the little element, to the bone structure a skeleton of your design.
  3. The Structure Plane: it has to do with how you will organize content. You may do this a structure hierarchically, a sequence sequentially or an organic structure organically.
  4. The Scope Plane: this is the place where you need to think what your users might want from your web page. What is the essential information we want them to get? The answers should reflect into content or function of your website.
  5. The Strategy Plane: think about your GOAL.What do your users really need and how can you make it all a successful experience.
