“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Williams, James R. (1989): Guidelines for Dialogue Design. In: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1989. pp. 589-596.

“The work of Human Factors Society Human-Computer Interaction Committee towards developing guidelines and standards for the design of dialogues is described. It is argued that the committee's "conditional standards" approach is both workable and acceptable to designers. Examples of conditional standards are provided and the content of the two dialogue technique areas which have received the most work to date (menus and commands) is discussed.”

Williams, James R. (1988): The Effects of Case and Spacing on Menu Option Search Time. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 341-343.

“The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of spacing and case (use of upper- or lowercase letters) on search time for menus presented on a contemporary high resolution PC display. Twenty Bellcore staff members, all experienced computer users, were presented two sets of four menus each (representing the combinations of case and spacing). Search time was recorded and participants were asked for their preferences among the four menu styles. Analysis of variance results indicated that double-spacing yielded significantly shorter search times in both menu sets. Although case was significant only for the first menu set, a significant case by spacing interaction for the second set indicated that double-spacing had more effect on search time for uppercase options than for lowercase options. Preference data also indicated that 85% of the participants preferred the double-spaced menus.”
