| Question | Answer |
| Affordances | The characteristics of an object that determine how it should be used. (We want them to be easy to understand) |
| (http://www.homestructions.com/general/new-door-knobs-can-freshen-your-home/) | This doorknob is clearly meant to be pushed down. We can tell by the shape. It has clear affordances. |
| (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiB1uPU5qHdAhVFq1MKHb6eCAIQjxx6BAgBEAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.itp.lindseyfrances.com%2F2016%2F09%2F19%2Fgood-interaction-vs-bad-interaction-door-edition%2F&psig=AOvVaw2iYCu7Kzi1HqMFkWOuClDC&ust=1536166050746094) | This door handle looks like it should be pulled but should actually be pushed. This is an example of an incorrect affordance. |
| How to make affordances better on the web | - Giving buttons shadows on your website gives it a shape and makes it more obvious that it should be clicked - Make sure your hover cues are easy to see |
