Your website might be intuitive to you, but did you know that it's probably missing critical components that would help you reach a wider audience? π€
For example, did you know:
...that users often ignore information presented on certain parts of your website? This is called banner blindness. Users automatically assume content presented in certain locations (and colors, styles, etc.) is irrelevant, so they ignore it.
...that some website features are required to be accessible by law? This varies between countries and years.
...that users will make huge judgments about your site (and you!) within the first 50 milliseconds? π€― And it doesn't matter what they do on your site after that- almost nothing will sway their opinion. Don't you want this opinion to be maximally positive?
That's only the beginning!
As an experienced UX Researcher, web designer, scholar, and PhD in cognitive neuroscience, I can do what most companies would charge thousands of dollars for.
Here's how it goes:
- You talk to me about your major concerns (if you know of any).
- I take a day to go through your site.
- I make a list of what you should keep doing and what needs to improve.
- I provide clear, actionable recommendations for what you should do.
- I take screenshots and provide annotations of the issues.
- I deliver this list to you in an interactive PDF format, meaning you can click checkboxes to keep track of what you have/haven't done.
What's unique about my usability tests?
I do more than just quality assurance tests. I incorporate over 12 years' experience into my approach and the feedback you get. This includes explanations of why something is a problem from the user's perspective and why the suggestions are recommended. That way, you can save money later on!
As we say in UX, test early and test often. Let me help your website represent you!
