When To Get a Web Usability Analysis

Though usability testing is ideally conducted during the design process of a site, it often is not. So where do you start if you already have a site?

The first step should be defining your benchmarks. Once that has been established, any changes you make to the site can then be quickly identified as improvements or not. The next step is identify the current condition of the website itself. By looking at the site comprehensively, and identifying any known or unknown conditions can save time and money when it comes to redesign. Priorities can also be better defined as well. The important thing to really know is that it’s never to late to start, and in fact, should be an ongoing process.
