Everyone benefits from well-designed web sites, regardless of cognitive capabilities. A clear consistent presentation will especially assist people with visual impairments or learning disabilities who have difficulty following disorganized presentations. A simple consistent design and look makes it easier to locate specific information within your site.

For example, a feature presented on every page, such as a standard navigation menu or logo for the site, should always appear in the same place. Clear navigation mechanisms on each page allow users to easily find navigation buttons between pages as well as locate the primary content for each page. While this makes it easier for everyone, it is especially helpful to people with learning and reading disabilities. Making it easy to predict where the needed information is found on each page will increase the likelihood that it will be found. A carefully planned organizational scheme will help everyone use your site.

Examples:

Site with poor organization:

Museum of Modern Art

Site with good organization:
