Is it appropriate to display the warning message “Caps Lock is on”? sorry - I was going to use the term 'cognitive load' but inadvertently ended up using something less meaningful and didn't really finish the sentence properly :-) My point there was that if and when you do happen to see this in action, then the chances are that it's going to be useful. You might deliberately have caps lock on when entering a password - but for those cases when you do (and therefore maybe see the warning as unnecessary), the occurrence of those situations is more than outweighed by the number of useful cases where you did not mean to have caps lock on. |

Difference between 'modify' and 'edit' buttons Aha - That's interesting actually. I believe you would more likely change the content of the order, but modify (or change) the quantity of one item in the order. I would use the word change - it's more 'real world language'. Nobody edits or modifies their order when they are at the supermarket...they change it. |

Creative alternatives for word 'Home' on a web application Yep +1 - nearly a billion google search results for the term 'home page'. 20.68 billion for 'home' and 21.31 billion for 'page'. The planet is telling you something here... |

What are some best practices to follow when designing for users completely unfamiliar with computers? From what I see, people take a few seconds to assess whether there is something on screen that they wish to continue with. If it takes much longer to assess this then it's too complicated. If the time out is too long, then the user starts to worry. If the timeout is too short, the user will feel pressured the next time. In between is a medium that you can only adjust to suit most - but not all - users. Depending on their speed of reading, reaction times etc, and their general relaxed state or propensity to worry, the time differs for each person. Something around 5-10 seconds seems to suit. |
