Any site that asks you to login, does provide a way for you to logout as well. I have found that it’s easy to find the login button because the login page is at times very simple. But how about logout? I am always frustrated to find the logout link after I login. Below are some examples of my frustration. Notice how some sites have different words for this link, ex: logout, log off, sign out… Because of different wordings, it’s hard to find it and over that each site has their own style, making the link’s position, look and feel different. I don’t blame the site developers for this, as they are developing the site in their own silos. But can there be a W3C guideline for placing the logout link/button always on the top right making it easier for site users to find it?
