OVERVIEW There are dozens of books and web sites dedicated to web usability, but few of these provide the ‘big picture’. The aim of this course is to help delegates design better web sites by showing how the various usability tools and techniques fit into real-world design and development processes. Over the two-day course, delegates engage in a practical design activity that helps them discover the usability secrets behind e-commerce development. The activity covers the full design lifecycle, including business requirements, customer needs, page and site design, prototyping and usability testing. WHO IS THE COURSE FOR? This course is for you if you are actively involved in the design of a web site and you want to make sure that users can find and use content quickly and easily. The course will be valuable for business analysts who want quick and effective tools to communicate web user requirements and for designers who want to learn methods for evaluating their site structure and web page designs. Marketing managers will benefit by learning about the business and brand benefits of a usability focus. Delegates do not need a background in usability to benefit from this course. HOW WILL I BENEFIT?

Unlike lecture-based courses, delegates moderate a usability test of their own web site and leave with a recording of the session to share with the design team. Usability testing is the method of choice for organisations that want to understand how customers use their product, software or web site. In contrast to market research methods, usability testing delivers strong predictive value, demonstrating how real people will use the product in the real world. But there are several different types of usability test, making it difficult for novices to choose a technique. Usability testing is also very different from interviews or focus groups and requires a well-trained test administrator. This workshop provides a practical path through the various methods, helping you pick the right kind of test for your product, showing you how to plan, carry out and analyse a usability test, and describing persuasive techniques for presenting the results to developers and managers. You will also get hands-on experience administering and observing a usability test and gain the kind of practical knowledge that you can't get from reading a book. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN -Write a screener to recruit the right test participants. -Write a usability test plan to get buy-in from management and the development team. -Develop test tasks that are relevant to your customers and your business. -Choose the right usability test method for your product and its lifecycle phase. -Design usability tests that meet international standards in usability. -Adapt our standard forms and templates for your own tests. -Moderate usability tests. -Collect and analyse behavioural data. -Persuade managers and developers to take action based on your test results. 178 United Kingdom Learn how to confidently carry out a usability test of your company's product or website.
