This paper outlines the premises of and describes a method for using card-sorting and cluster analysis to involve users in the organizational design of Web sites. Cluster analysis is then performed across all participants' card groupings to produce site diagrams. A more user-oriented approach to site structure design requires evaluating users' expectations for organizing a Web site.

2. Educated ourselves – by reading pertinent material which focused on web site design, users search experience, and usability testing. Usability methods that didn’t involve real users: 1. Heuristic Evaluation - a type of inspection method. Methods that did involve real users: 1. Card-sorting - this usability method is for testing an application’s structure.

Approach We are currently developing software tools and techniques for evaluating the usability of web sites. The second set of tools and techniques we call Web Usability tools; tools developed for use by usability professionals. Usability Awareness Tools In carrying out case studies, we try to identify tools that could be developed to help in the design or testing of web sites.

We use this ratio to measure the effectiveness of inspections and other evaluative techniques in getting usability improvements into products. We inspected ten commercial software products and achieved an average impact ratio of 78%. We discuss factors affecting this ratio and its value in helping us to appraise usability engineering's impact on products. Formal inspections, heuristic evaluations, usability metrics, user testing, walkthroughs, impact ratio usability problems.

How to find out what elements of your navigation people have actually noticed. (Usability, navigation, interface design, July 16, 2000) July 19: interesting methodology update (at the bottom of this page). Banner blindness has been well documented, and recently people have been observing users ignore navigation elements as well (think amazon's tabs).

It's a Web browser designed specifically for usability professionals who are testing websites. Navigation clicks on ergoBrowser buttons are also recorded with the name of the button clicked. When browsing a frames-based page, ergoBrowser will record multiple URLs for what loads (from the test participant's perspective) as a single page.

The EZSort tool helps interface designers organize information based on users' expectations using statistical cluster analysis. The USort program can be used by card sort participants to sort virtual cards with a simple GUI interface, instead of using physical cards. Once individual card sort results are captured by the USort package, test administrators can use the EZCalc package to manage card sort data from multiple participants, and perform cluster analyses.

We believe that the Contextual Inquiry technique provides a powerful means for evaluating the usability of WWW tools and information spaces. This paper describes our use of the Contextual Inquiry technique to discover possible usability improvements for Mosaic for X-Windows. This paper principally discusses the authors' use of the Contextual Inquiry technique to discover usability improvements for Mosaic for X-Windows (version 2.1).
