Some (hopefully) constructive feedback based on my experience on this site:
- At first, the site looked like a slideshow with prominent prev/next at the top and a title content that takes the entirely of my desktop monitor. So, naturally, I hit the keyboard right arrow (like most slideshow web pages) to get to the next slide for content, and nothing happened.
- Then at the bottom left, there's a down button. So I scrolled down to find the content there. I read it, and still subconsciously hit keyboard right for the next slide...oops, I mean, page...because of the prev/next at the top (sure, pebkac and all that; but it's also expectations-setting).
- Then I clicked on "next" to get another page that again takes the full monitor for the title, requiring scrolling down to get to the content, all of which can easily fit on a single screen. It seems unnecessarily "distracting", in a sense, since the expectation is that the user would actually go through the content and not just the titles which themselves are not very informative.
- One way I tried to improve ergonomics was to hitting page-down to read the content and then tab a couple times to get to the next button (almost automatic). However...the focus indicator for the "next button" has been removed in CSS, which is another usability nono.
Of at least tangential relevance here are Doherty Threshold (slide 2) and Jakob's law (slide 5). Just my 2c.
