"On
the Internet, it's survival of the easiest.... Give users a good experience
and they're apt to turn into frequent and loyal customers. But ...
it's easy to turn to another supplier in the face of even a minor
hiccup. Only if a site is extremely easy to use will anybody bother
staying around."
- Jakob Nielsen
"The
web is the ultimate customer-empowering environment. He or she who
clicks the mouse gets to decide everything. It is so easy to go elsewhere;
all the competitors in the world are but a mouseclick away."
- Jakob Nielsen
"You
know from your own experience as a Web user that paying attention
to usability means less frustration and more satisfaction for your
visitors, and a better chance that you'll see them again."
- Steve Krug
Studies
show that for every dollar a company invests to increase usability,
it receives $10-$100 in benefits, and wins customer satisfaction and
loyalty.

Still
not convinced? Here are some more expert opinions:
"Usability
rules the web. Simply stated, if the customer can't find a product,
then he or she will not buy it."
- Jakob Nielsen
97
percent of Fortune 100 companies had some type of site architecture
problem that might give them problems being found by search engines.
- iProspect
"If
users habitually experienced poor or unpredictable quality of technical
service (speed) at the site of a particular company, that company's
products were viewed as inferior."
- Hewlett Packard
"Improving user experience can increase both revenue and customer
satisfaction while lowering costs." "Even though consumers, business
customers, and site executives underscore the need for a great user
experience, most Web efforts don't deliver it."
- Forrester

Here are some more expert opinions:
"80%
of the mistakes you will make in information architecture can be caught
if you bring in a great usability expert from the beginning."
- Roger Black
"To
dismiss basic contexts such as link colours, page layouts, navigation
systems, and visual hierarchy as 'boring' or 'pedestrian' is akin
to laughing at a car's steering wheel as unimaginative."
- Jeffrey Veen
"There's
one thing more painful that learning from experience, and that is
not learning from experience."
- anonymous
"The
usability tests we have conducted during the last year have shown
an increasing reluctance among users to accept innovations in Web
design. The prevailing attitude is to request designs that are similar
to everything else people see on the Web."

Here are some more expert opinions:
"Although
browsing or comparison-shopping tops the list of reasons for online
shopping cart abandonment, the study found that just 21 per cent of
e-shoppers surveyed mentioned it. Shipping costs account for 17 per
cent of people aborting their purchases. Poorly designed Web sites
and privacy concerns also cause e-shoppers to ditch their carts."
- NFO CF Group
Every
click is an opportunity to lose prospects.
- Bryan Eisenberg
It
helps to bring in an objective outsider to give the business some
perspective. Remain impartial about internal politics or who suggested
past ideas. The business needs an unbiased verdict, without the emotional
attachment it has invested in its own efforts.
- Bryan Eisenberg
Directories
- such as Yahoo and Looksmart - often reject sites with broken links.
Studies show that 71% of Web sites have at least 1 bad link.
