Usability reviews
Note: These reviews are limited to one persona, one task, and provide an insight into what type of basic tasks users should be able to complete with ease and no errors. Full usability testing is much more comprehensive.
Usability test: Post.ch
I've decided to test one of the websites that I've had great experience with and I believe they've generally done a good job at structuring the information (which looks like a matrix and therefore complicated to structure). I've noticed that they've changed their...
Usability test: Skype.com
Today I decided to review a journey for something I had to do a few times in the past - changing my password on Skype.com. I remember it being a rather convoluted process, so much so, that I know more than a few people who actually created a new account just because...
