Deliverables from usability website evaluation

Written report

The usability website evaluation report is very much recommendation-led. For each highlighted issue, clear recommendations are provided for how to remedy it and improve the site's usability. Recommendations are defined as high, medium and low priority, as appropriate.

The usability website evaluation report also highlights the positive usability aspects of the site, in order to ensure you don't remove these! It's written in layman's terms and is presented with a number of screenshots from the site. You can download a brief extract from a sample report.

Presentation of usability website evaluation

Once the usability website evaluation report is completed, Webcredible will make a short presentation of the main findings to you. This executive summary is an ideal opportunity for website stakeholders to learn more about the website and its usability.

Methodology for the usability website evaluation

The expert usability website evaluation is carried out by Webcredible's highly skilled in-house usability specialists. It's a comprehensive usability framework for any website and can specifically address the following areas, telling you how to:

Persuasiveness & cross-selling
Ensure the site and individual pages persuade site visitors to do what you want them to do (make a purchase, contact you etc.)
Navigation & ease of information retrieval
Maximise the ease with which site visitors can find both the information they require and the content you want them to access
Page layout & calls-to-action
Make sure there are enough calls-to-actions and that they're appropriate and noticeable
Removing obstacles
Make it as easy as possible for people to do what they - and more importantly you - want them to do
Content, marketing & brand
Ensure that the site's content engages and persuades users and that the site's USPs are communicated clearly and effectively
Search
Enhance the design and performance of the site's search engine so users can find what they want with ease
Checkout process
Eliminate likely dropout points and optimise the intuitiveness of the checkout process

Competitor analysis

Webcredible can also carry out a top-level analysis of competing sites, as part of the usability website evaluation. The competitor analysis is an ideal opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses of competitors' sites. This will provide you with:

  • New ideas for improving the effectiveness of your website
  • An idea of what you should avoid doing, both now and in the future
