Website Usability Analysis

Usability Analysis

Hand Cursor“Usability Analysis” is the process of researching your website’s USAGE “appeal” to its intended audience (not to be confused with its VISUAL appeal). An effective analysis requires an understanding of your readers collective needs and how best to deliver your content or products to them.

  • Do you have the content that people are looking for?
  • Can they find their way to it?
  • Are they entering your site from the Home Page?
  • Does your website respond in an expected fashion?
  • Does your website speak their language?
  • Are obvious concerns answered as they arise?
  • Is there any design or branding elements that get in the way?

IPO Digital Design have taken usability research and turned it into a series of “best practice” guidelines that are incorporated into initial design planning (see website design) thus ensuring that your website will not only LOOK appealing but that it will also BE appealing.

It is the collective needs of your site readers that define your site structure, the naming and placement of individual page elements and the helpful functionality required to achieve their goals.
