Abstract: Abstract The chance to share information, receive feedbacks, tips and suggestions, in a “one-to-many” way, represented the strength of the WWW in recent years, becoming the most important channel of information delivery of all times. However, the “virtually unlimited” growth of the web finds now an actual limit: the desire of employing new technologies when developing internet sites has pushed web designers to pay more attention to tools first of all, almost as in a closed system, rather than to process of human-computer interaction. Starting from a real case study, this contribution proposes a total analysis of the multiple aspects that make usability the true problem of the web.
