So you have built a new website, and your friends and family love it. Have you ever watched them in person actually using it though? Have you ever assigned someone to complete a task on your website, and actually watch them? I am guessing the answers are no, so I decided to create a poll to find out what you webmasters actually do.

Unfortunately

Unfortunately PollDaddy’s polls can not display more than once at a time on any given page.  I have added the poll to the left sidebar menu of this blog, but I also wanted to introduce it to all of you by this blog post. The poll question is “Have you ever watched at least five people complete a task on your website?” The code is right here below the paragraph, but until I remove the poll from the sidebar you will not be able to see it in this post. I had chosen PollDaddy to handle the polls because it is owned by the same great people who own WordPress.

  1. Hi Robert

    You raise a really interesting point. Usually when you get feedback from people they will write whether they like your page or not. If your are lucky you will get suggestions for improvements. However actually watching people complete task on your site could potentially provide you with a wealth of information on what works and what doesn’t on your site.

    Regards
