This tutorial is intended to help participants improve their contribution in designing usable Web sites now with the current technologies and in the future with more advanced technologies. This will be accomplished in two sessions (3-hours each):1) providing a review of the fundamental design and methodology issues relating to designing usable Web sites, and 2) introducing and discussing the salient human factors design issues and guidelines associated with the more recent Web technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and Extensible Markup Language (XML) for their successful implementation.
