8. Layout : consistency

Effect of good consistency

Produces a coherent design and so looks more professional
Simpler for users if items are always in the same place. e.g. search box top right, menu left
Learning one product within the range means they quickly understand how other applications in the suite work as well.
Helps build and enforce a corporate image
Reduces wasted time as users don't have to search for the feature they are after.
