As individuals, our ability to learn, and the way in which we do it, is as unique as we are, with every person experiencing, interacting and understanding content – whatever it may be, differently. It is for this reason that you need to consider how user friendly your website is. Whilst your website can have a ‘one for all’ type format, you would be doing a disservice to both your website and your user if you didn’t consider the needs and differences of those who visit and engage with it. If you don’t think your website is as user friendly as it possibly could be, you might want to consider how you could address this, as you may be unintentionally turning users away.

When mapping out your site you should consider that people process information differently. Too many visual images can be irksome for some, with many people finding it off putting to navigate their way through unnecessary visuals to reach the content they’d rather read. Others, on the other hand, may prefer the use of visuals in developing an understanding of content, as they may become disinterested at the idea of reading a large body of text. Striking the appropriate balance between the two, whilst it may seem difficult, could potentially broaden the range of traffic that visits your site by opening it up to a variety of different users.

Creating a website that considers and responds to the way different people learn through design, doesn’t have to limit your project. Yes, it may require a little bit more time and thought, but the end result is a website that is much more-user friendly.

Another aspect of your website you should possibly consider is how learner friendly it may be. Consider that not every person who visits your site will understand the terminology you use and this can sometimes be the obstacle that turns potential users away. Targeting new users should be on your agenda, so altering your language to include those who aren’t so savvy about the industry your website reflects is a good way to broaden your user base. A good way to access how user-friendly your website is, is to look at as objectively as you can. As hard as that may be, it’ll give you a good idea of the potential obstacles that your users may face in accessing your website, and will assist you in removing them. Alternatively, you could ask someone to take a look at your website and note down any problems they may have encountered whilst interacting with it.

Yes, it will require a bit more additional research, energy and time, but this is your project, your work, and by extension, a reflection of you. It’s something you should put time in to, as your users are crucial to the success and on going operation of your website.

Companies that have moved their domains in December 2011 or January 2012 due to GoDaddy’s support of SOPA include the following:

1. MLG Network News moved over 100 domains to Namecheap. There were no reported problems with the transfer.

2. Fiddlerstudios.com moved their domain to Nefirms. There were no reported problems.

3. Nutmeg.com moved to Namecheap and other providers. There were no reported problems.

4. Canadiantechbloggers.com moved their domain in December 2011 to Name.com. They reported no problems.

5. Robinadr.com moved to NearlyFreeSpeech in December 2011. There were no reported problems.

6. TwitchTV moved to Namecheap. There were no reported problems.

7. Imgur moved to Namecheap. There were no reported problems.

8. Sonysuit moved to Name.com. There were no reported problems.

9. Groveshark moved to Namecheap. There were no reported problems.

10. XBMC moved to a non-US entity that was not named. There were no reported problems.

Wikipedia and Cheezburger are two of the top Internet sites reported they would be moving their domains away from GoDaddy. They did not, however, follow through and their domains are still registered with GoDaddy.

It appears that reported problems with domain name transfers, which does not give specific domain names to verify this information, is mainly related to Namecheap. They have complained that GoDaddy has delayed transfers to them to make it more difficult for clients to leave them. GoDaddy’s response was that there was a problem with Namecheap’s domain registration access.

After the mass exodus of domains from their servers, GoDaddy withdrew their support of SOPA. GoDaddy’s CEO reportedly stated: “It’s very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it.” In addition, CNET reports that GoDaddy took down their blog that outlined their support of SOPA. In addition, the SOPA bill has been defeated and Congress will not be pursuing the option any further. Although there is sure to be another attempt at a similar bill, the Internet has shown through this circumstance the power of its collective efforts.
