As we aim to provide a flawless experience for SCENE users, the design team is required to agree on a set of guidelines for the User Experience. Those guidelines will be considered as a baseline for the application design rather than rules that the team must strictly follow. Usability.gov offers Research-Based Web Design and Usability Guidelines in a searchable database. The guidelines cover a comprehensive list of “issues, methods, and procedures” that are related to usability and design including accessibility, navigation, layout, test appearance, and content organisation to name a few.
