possible way.
Another option is to use hypertext to present information in a nonlinear
way, but this can cause confusion to your audience.

Introduction: What do We Mean by the ROI of Usability?
Usability increases customer satisfaction and productivity, leads to customer
trust and loyalty, and inevitably results in tangible cost savings and
profitability.
Because user-interface (UI) development is part of a product's development
cost anyway, it pays to do it right.
User-centered design benefits users, the users' company, and the vendor
company.
Increased usability increases productivity and job satisfaction while
decreasing customer support needs and documentation requirements.

based on expert hard evidence on how a design should have used usability."

Theme 2: The HTML language.
While computers are customarily called servers if they have some server
functionality, the server in reality is a piece of software running on
that particular computer.
When one connection occurs (it will be signalled by the underlying operating
system), the server will try to honour the request: in some cases, the
client can request one particular task, whereas in others the response
from the server will always be the same.
The first line is the actual command that is sent to the server: get the
file/index.html, and use protocol HTTP/1.1 for dealing with this transfer.

Abstract Web authoring and publishing has become a daily task
for almost every enterprise or organization.
One big question is how the Web authoring and publishing can be organized
or coordinated in such a way that contents provided by qualified staffs,
information architecture designed by information specialists and professional
design made by specialists can be integrated together perfectly to build
and to maintain a professional Web site.
As in Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Internet Computing
(IC'2000), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 2000 These requirements can only be
fulfilled by Web pages of a Web site.
