Consistent Design Patterns

Summary

Have you ever had a hard time learning to use a new website or application? It takes a mental effort to understand a new website. A consistent design helps all of us learn to use a new site faster, but it is especially helpful for people with executive function-related disabilities. This includes people with memory, learning, and communication disabilities. Consistency helps people become familiar with a new web interface faster. When a design is consistent, it is more likely that people will find the needed information and complete tasks successfully.
