Homepage Design Review

  Price: US$12,000 for a review of a homepage design.
 

What Can Be Reviewed?

Any homepage design, whether an existing homepage or a draft of a new design. Intranet homepages can be reviewed if you can get us a copy of the homepage as well as any pages that are linked from the homepage.
 

Who Should Purchase?

Companies who are interested in having their homepage subjected to an independent expert review by pioneers in usability (we literally wrote the book on homepage usability...).
 

Schedule

Reviews typically take a few weeks. Faster turnaround is possible if you place the order sufficiently far in advance to allow us to block out time for our senior staff members and if you commit to a firm date when the design will be made available for review.
 

Deliverable

Written report describing prioritized problems and issues.

The report addresses four levels of recommendations:
> Specific usability problems on the homepage are identified together with recommended changes that will improve usability. We often find around 50 things to change on each homepage.
> Relative assessment of how your homepage scores compared to others on our 113 guidelines for homepage usability.
> Task support and communications analysis of how well your homepage communicates and supports the top goals for what users can do on your site.
> Future usability directions for the homepage design and our recommended strategy for achieving significant advances in the user experience.

Frequently asked question: Can I see a sample report?
Answer: Fifty sample reviews are available as part of our book Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed.
Note, however, that the reviews in the book only contain the first level of recommendations from the above list. The task support analysis and the future directions analysis are not included in the book because they are not of interest to the general readership. These two levels of analysis are highly relevant when they concern your own company, of course.
