ABSTRACT
Usability is an important issue studied by many researchers and practitioners. Specifically, we are interested in evaluating web usability using small display devices.
In this paper we evaluate different type of navigation using small display devices: links, folio and search. In order to evaluate it, we propose a laboratory prototype.
