Web Critica Introduces Three New Usability Evaluation Services for Websites.

To help websites achieve greater user satisfaction, Web Critica has introduced three targeted, affordable, usability evaluation services: the Homepage Analysis, the Site Review, and the Ecommerce review. Each provides an analysis of web usability issues that might be inhibiting a sites user experience. Reports can be ordered online and are turned around in about a week.

(PRWEB) March 18, 2004 --Web Critica, the website usability expert, has introduced three usability evaluation services to help websites improve the user experience of their visitors. From homepage usability to the e-commerce and shopping cart experience, these new and affordable services will help clients make their websites easier to use.

Usability is a key factor of website success. Studies have shown that websites with improved usability see increased visitor retention and higher sales; in some cases, sales have improved as much as 400% after usability improvements were implemented.

Unlike some other usability evaluation services that can be ordered online (that simply plug-in boilerplate commentary against a checklist of guidelines), Web Criticas reports are custom-written for every client; every comment is unique and tailored to the site that our experts analyze. Our analysts are not only usability professionals, but design consultants who have worked on top-flight websites for Fortune 500 companies.

Summary of the new usability services:

Homepage Analysis -- A detailed usability evaluation of a sites homepage. The report looks at such questions as: Do users instantly know what the site is about and what they can achieve on it? Is the navigation obvious? Is it clear where new visitors can start? Good homepage usability impacts an entire site. Web Criticas homepage usability analysis is an affordable option for all websites seeking to improve usability.
