User experience evaluations
What is a user experience evaluation?
A user experience evaluation does not involve testing with real users.
Instead, usability experts from User Vision apply a proven set of best
practice principles, or heuristics, to your website, software or
product. These principles are based on years of research by leading web
and software usability professionals determining what constitutes a
usable system. The structured analysis based on this method quickly
reveals the outstanding usability issues.
The benefits
User experience evaluation is a speedy and low-cost way to identify
usability defects. As no test participants are required, we can conduct
an evaluation at short notice and report results quickly for the design
team to take action. We can perform this evaluation early in the design
process using wire frames, mock-ups or prototypes to ensure that
problems are caught before they are built into the design. And because
it's quick and economical, this method is also ideal for the remote
evaluation of live websites, often as the first step to a redesign.
Your user experience evaluation report
When we have completed your user experience evaluation, you will receive a detailed report that will include:
- A prioritised list of usability problems
- Specific redesign recommendations for each problem identified
- Screen captures to illustrate the main points
