user-friendly experience

The wording 'a ........ experience' has crept into advertising over the past 8-10 years, but often means very little/nothing. So advertisers will now say, for example,

* 'This car provides a relaxing driving experience' = 'this car is relaxing to drive'
* 'Use Persil soap powder in your washing machine for a trouble-free washing experience' = 'for a trouble-free wash'
* 'Stay in our hotel for a pleasant holiday experience' = 'for a pleasant holiday'
* 'Use the Philishave XP123 for a comfortable shaving experience' = 'for a comfortable shave'
* 'Come to our restaurant for a pleasant eating experience' = 'for a pleasant meal'
and so on.

As you can see, when 'a ........ experience' is used in this way, it's pretty meaningless. Here are some more examples if interested:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?as_q="a+pleasant"+"experience"+-definition+-dictionary+-meaning+-a-pleasant-experience+-to-experience+-an-experience&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=

So in cases like this it doesn't matter if you simply rephrase it in Russian and completely ignore the word 'experience'.

в целом, Джон прав, но не всегда этим словам-паразитам легко подобрать аналоги в русском.
сайт "приятно использовать". Вы когда-нибудь сами пользовались сайтами? понимаете, что это значит? уверен, что да. ну так попробуйте сфорулировать на родном языке.
