Usability Principles

To improve the safety it will be important users have the ability to take down forum posts and redact their choice to delete a hive. Otherwise, safety will be maximized by the buttons that act as breadcrumbs when users go to the wrong page.

For the best utility there will be many options for adding images on forums and data when relevant, furthermore, all hive data will be manipulatable in charts for anything the user wants.

To ensure effectiveness the site will be equipped with simple navigation and uncluttered displays furthermore, placement of specific items will be in expected hierarchical order with simple divisions when necessary.

Learnability will be substantiated through simple and expected page layouts that can be found on any site, while buttons will have there use layered onto them.

To optimize accessibility the sites location of use has been considered. Because the of the expected high frequency of use outdoors, the site will use vivid colors and bold contrasts to minimize glare.

All operating systems need to be fully functional with the website and useable. Therefore, incorporated designs need to account scaling between devices and visual communication elements. Elements like spacing and balance will be essential for both smaller and larger devices.
