Web Site Usability Testing
Are you currently building a new web site or making major changes to your existing one? Critical to your new site's success are:
  • Effective navigation
  • Site organization
  • Page structure/layout
  • Usable file sizes
  • Effective use of color
  • Cross browser/platform consistency
  • Accessibility
The Web Publishing department at Publications Services has extensive experience testing web site usability. We can help to optimize your new site by running it through a checklist of basic tests of accepted usability standards.
  • Can you get to anywhere on your site with less than three clicks of the mouse?
  • Do all of your pages take less than 10 seconds to load?
  • Do your Javascripts work on all of the available browsers that support it?
  • Are your pages accessible to people with disabilities?
Launching a new web site is an exciting experience, but it can also be agonizing if you have to go back and make fixes once it is live. We can help you avoid the major pitfalls.

Usability
  • Use headings, lists and consistent structure to convey document structure and use them according to specification. (Reference: W3C: 3.5)
    Choose color schemes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background. Ensure that all information conveyed with color is also available without color.
    Establish a primary navigation plan for your site and be consistent on every page. Your reader should be able to easily navigate your site.
    Include an easy path back to your site's main page
    Try to keep line lengths from exceeding screen width. You may want to format text using Cascading Style Sheets or using a table to preserve structure of tabular information.

Champions
By Melissa Reyen This installment of Champions of Web publishing features Jakob Nielsen, author of Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed, and principal and co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group. Nielsen is perhaps the best known advocate for simplifying the online user experience. He has invented several usability methods and holds 71 patents in the U.S., primarily surrounding the ways to make the Internet easier to use. His column on Web usability has been published since 1995 and as he moves into issues surrounding writing Web sites for low-literacy readers, it looks like his full range of influence on the Web publishing world is yet to be discovered. Publish: What got you started with Web usability? Jakob Nielsen: From 1983 to 1993, I had been working on usability and hypertext, so when the Web started to become big in 1994, it was natural for me to combine my two interests and do Web usability. From my very first user tests of websites and intranets in 1994 it was clear that there was great potential in theory but major usability problems in the actual designs that were imposed on the poor users. Publish: What role do you think usability plays in Web design? Can the two be compatible?

Designing Web Usability:
The Practice of Simplicity
Jakob Nielsen
New Riders 1999 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee Designing Web Usability is the most important book on web publishing yet to appear. While it contains little that is novel, at least to those who have read Nielsen's www.useit.com web site and other such resources, the lessons it teaches have not reached widely enough: there are all too many web sites that are a continual source of frustration and stress to users. (Nielsen begins by explaining why he chose to write a printed book on web design: for comprehensive, sustained arguments online reading is not yet as effective as print. Another consideration is that, going by the utter un-usability of so many corporate web sites, there must be many web site managers who don't actually use the web: some of these might read a printed volume.) At the core of Designing Web Usability , and two thirds of it by page-count, are chapters on page, content, and site design. The first covers cross-platform design, the importance of minimising response times, how to use links effectively, and the advantages and disadvantages of style-sheets and frames. The second covers writing for the web, micro-content (titles, headlines and so forth), and multimedia content (images, animation, audio, and video). The last covers navigation, home pages ("splash screens must die"), search support, and "URL design". Other chapters cover special usability issues with intranets, accessibility for users with disabilities, and internationalisation and localisation; in a final chapter Nielsen takes a stab at predicting the future of the Web.

Web sites should comply with usability guidelines found on the Usability@MIT website http://web.mit.edu/ist/usability/ Usability is a measure of the site's effectiveness in delivering information to its specified audience. It should be considered at the planning stage and validated throughout the site design and development process. Usability considerations impact site architecture, user interface design and content development. WCS consultants in collaboration with the Usability group can assist in determining appropriate planning strategies and testing points for a given project.
Elements and Guidelines to Consider Navigation Current location within the site is shown clearly. Link to the site's main page is clearly identified. Major/important parts of the site are directly accessible from the main page. Site map is provided for a large, complex site.

Web Publishing at UIC: Overview
Everyone at UIC is welcome to publish on the Web, either personal pages or pages for official departmental or classroom use. Commercial use is not allowed. The ACCC runs Web servers (known as www.uic.edu and www2.uic.edu) on its central UNIX machines (tigger and icarus, respectively). Web publishing on an ACCC Web server requires an account on the machine that it runs on. (There are other Web servers on campus, in Math and EECS, for example. Except for the general how-to information, including many of the links on the Help and Related Links page, the instructions in these pages are specific to the ACCC Web service on tigger and icarus.) In the Beginning All you need is an account on tigger or icarus and a little knowledge of the mechanics: how HTML works, and where to put your files.
