More about this link

Bottom-line focused article on the value of usability testing.

The business case for making web sites that are easy to use: the benefits in traffic, sales and happy customers far outweigh the cost to do usability testing and other techniques.

This article specifically covers:

  • How much money a confusing site can lose
  • How much it can cost to make a site easier to use
  • When to hire outside help or do the usability testing yourself
  • Case studies from Charles Schwab (high budget) and Healtheon (low budget)
  • Other ways to know your customer
