You're designing a wizard in a Web app. Choices:
1. Each step is one page and each page is one step. Benefit: Clarity
-- click NEXT and get to the next step.
2. Make the steps be at a higher level, and each step could be spread
out over two pages. For example, the "Setup" step includes logging in
to your account, downloading software and installing it -- maybe it's
just neater (conceptually and/or visually) to break that up.
Benefits: Simpler pages, and it looks like fewer steps when you see
"Step n of m".
I just ran a study where one person was vocal about wanting one
step/one page. I don't think it mattered much to the others. Other
observations?
