Usability Testing Services

Usability Testing Services Make Sure Your Website is Working as Expected.

 

Webfor optimizes experiences to get results.

Usability testing allows our design and development team to fix problems before launching the site. It’s like that old Ben Franklin saying: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

If a website is difficult to use, hard to figure out, or tough to navigate, conversions will plummet — as will your visitors. Usability testing is a way to identify issues, problems, and potential pain points for users prior to setting the website loose in the real world.

In “Don’t Make Me Think,” author and consultant Steve Krug sums it up nicely:

“Usability really just means making sure that something works well: that a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can use the thing, whether it’s a website, remote control, or revolving door, for its intended purpose without getting hopelessly frustrated.”

Usability Testing and ‘Personas’

One of the best tools available to web developers and digital marketers is the creation of personas.

For the uninitiated, a few questions may spring immediately to mind:

  • What are user personas?
  • Why bother creating them?
  • What information can they provide?
  • What value do they provide for businesses?

Analyzing client usability testing report

There are a variety of tools available in usability testing, but it generally means determining:

  • If users are able to complete certain tasks
  • How long it takes to complete certain tasks
  • User satisfaction with site features
  • User satisfaction with site performance
  • Changes that will improve user experience (UX)
  • Changes that will improve user satisfaction

How to Know if Usability Testing Can Help your Business?

Personas are a way to create realistic representations of a business’ target audience and to formulate benchmarks of success for that particular business and that particular audience.

Webfor creates personas using the latest and greatest research and analytical tools at our disposal. Informed by precision sales and marketing analytics along with timely and robust data, a newly created persona will be a perfect stand-in for a website’s targeted user group.

Personas provide valuable — and most importantly, actionable — information that will be used to guide future usability tests and improve UX.

Thus, when the site is launched, it will have a solid usability foundation — meaning better traffic and more conversions for businesses. In other words, Webfor will be your business’ ounce of prevention.
