Limitations of Study The best option of discovering the most usability problems of a website is through merging several information gathering methods. Personas are only good as the research put into them and scenarios are not meant to discover a full set of requirements (Sharp, Rogers, Preece, 2007, p.506). According to The Research-Based Web Design and Usability Guidelines Book, the first chapter states that a successful project needs at least four different sources of information to be successful

HC: Human-Computer Interaction Human–computer interaction (HCI) is concerned with designing the interaction between people and computers and the construction of interfaces to afford this. Interaction between users and computational artefacts occurs at an interface which includes both software and hardware. Interface design impacts the software life-cycle in that it should occur early; the design and implementation of core functionality can influence the user interface – for better or worse. Because
