Usability pertains to how easy a product is to use.
It must be effective, achieving its set goal or task; it must be efficient, measuring how much effort is required to achieve its goal - the less effort required, the more efficient a product is; - and, of course, satisfying - taking into account the level of comfort while using the product.
Usability is a property of the interaction between a product, a user and the task, or a set of tasks, that he or she is trying to complete. Re-usability refers to the possible decrement in performance after the user has not used the product for a ‘comparatively long period of time’.
Jung Foundation's re-usability is weak due to the fact that there is simply too much content on the site to keep track of. It isn’t designed well because it requires a lot of reading which increases the amount of cognitive effort required.

From an aesthetic perspective, this product is poorly designed with varying font sizes, colors, overloaded with text, interrupting the user’s experience.
The inconsistent layout disrupts the user’s flow - it effects not only the efficiency but also the effectiveness of the experience as well as the satisfaction for the user. The interaction design suffers due to this.
If the goal is for the user to purchase a course online, the interaction should be made uncomplicated. Instead, the interactions require needless additional cognitive load.

There is a lot of information on this site. Nevertheless, it is well separated through menu items.
This, however, doesn’t make it easier for the user to navigate efficiently. The amount of information isn’t consistently or effectively laid out (as you can see on the right).

The navigation design for this particular website is poorly established.

The user experience design for Jung Foundation seems more learnable than guessable. It is learnable due to the fact that performing a task - for instance, purchasing a course through the site - proves easily difficult after the first completion.
The persistence of the problem repeatedly occurs - in both mobile and website – hurting the experience of its user. While the purpose of the website has been met, the content has not been showcased to aesthetically satisfy its users. Part of the problem is the poor information design which will be further discussed.
Usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before product can be released
The frequency with which this problem occurs is extremely high. Sites that are easy to navigate are seen as being more credible. This website, on the other hand does not accomplish this goal and this occurs in almost every page of the site.

Due to the consistency in the Foundation’s goals, the site seems credible.
This Foundation is focused on one purpose. And this is consistent throughout its multiple pages. The purpose of the site is to provide its users with the means to educate themselves on their own psychology and well being. This goal stays consistent which makes the site seem more credible.
The information displayed in every page is very useful to the user. Although there is too much of it to read, requiring the user to put in a lot of effort.
There is no usability problem at all
Products lose credibility when the only purpose seems to be selling things or getting money from users. However, they seem more credible by conveying motives that people find to be admirable.
The website does both effectively. There are examples above that display their plea for donation and support from their customers. However, there is also enough content for the sole purpose of educating and providing users with available resources such as audiobook and podcasts, seminars and workshops, and other such data.
There is no usability problem at all
The product definitely benefits the social aspect of emotion for its users by providing, albeit indirectly, the necessary resources for social interactions. The site also does this by presenting forums, workshops, and seminars for its users to attend.

The outcome of using this website and its resources is emotionally satisfying for its users.

The website pertains to people’s values in a positive manner and, for the most part, achieves the ideological aspect to satisfy its user.
No usability problem at all
If items are related to each other, they should be grouped into closer proximity. This helps organize and provide a structure to the elements on a page.

A product should be conscious about every element it places on its page. To keep the entire page unified, alignment is very important.

Contrast is the difference between two or more elements in a composition. The more the difference between the elements, the greater they are easy to compare and comprehend and that's when they are said to have contrasted with each other - uxdesign.cc
