ergonomique


Explanation:
To emphasise 'ease of use'. You would talk about the 'ergonomiques' of a Web site, meaning user-friendliness. This is more about physical layout, Gilles' answer stresses human reaction to this user-friendly environment ('je trouve ce site convivial...'). Its your call.

Sorry, you would in fact \"talk about the \'ergonomie\' of a Web site\".
