Usability Evaluations

Related Pages: Usability Testing

Identify usability issues for an existing product or service.

Usability evaluations are the perfect solution for a project that is currently underway where you may not have the time or budget for formal usability testing. Usability experts from the User Centric team will evaluate your product or application using proven methods, and determine whether the product is useful, functionally complete, usable, intuitive, and accessible. We offer professional analyses with prioritized and actionable recommendations.

Experts evaluate a number of product dimensions:

• Navigational structure
• Form / Window layout
• Primary User Interactions

Tools that may be used for evaluation:

• Design heuristics
• Principles of human-computer interaction
• Known user interface guidelines
• Cognitive walkthroughs
• Standards reviews
• User personas
• Comparative analyses with competitor products and services

Benefits of our usability evaluations:

• We conduct skilled evaluations at any point in the product development lifecycle.
• Rather than reviewing appearance elements (such as copy and button placement), we go much deeper and identify structural issues, business process gaps, and detailed design problems.
• Our usability evaluations not only provide a detailed description of the usability failings within a product or application, but also solutions you can act on.
