Nutrition is a very detailed topic, and readers have to be careful on what they are reading in the fact of the information being true. To show the process of evaluating websites, I have picked two different websites that are paired together. The first one was for the company called JuicePlus, and the other was title EatRight by the Academy of Dietics.

The competitor websites chosen for this research were Immigration New Zealand (www.immigration.govt.nz), Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (www.border.gov.au) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (www.usgis.gov). To find how user-friendly applicants for Australian residence would find that country’s site, the team also surveyed the opinions of different users who used three websites.

This paper is a written evaluation of three websites that were designed to reach a specific target audience. All three sites' reach their target audience, however they accomplish this in a slightly different way. During this paper, we will discuss the strength and weaknesses of each site, the design criteria used to evaluate them, and how to improve some of the weaknesses associated with each site.

The objective of our usability test was to develop a significant and vertical understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Michigan Daily website from a wide demographic group. With many different users logging in to the daily website everyday, we aimed to discover what errors were made, why they were made, and how we can ameliorate those mistakes in order to create a clean, aesthetic, and functioning website. The underlying theme of our usability results can be identified more clearly with the analysis of the 3 stages of the test, pre-test questions, the usability logging results, and post-test questions.

Whether you are designing a Bentley Continental GT Speed or a website for Zipcar, usability matters. To ensure that a website is functional and easy to use, it should undergo usability testing. While the primary goal of usability testing is the same for all usability tests—can the user easily complete the necessary tasks, each product and iteration of testing involves unique tasks and questions. In analyzing the usability test video of Zipcar’s website created by Steve Krug, it is clear that even websites created by successful companies need usability testing after the website has been launched.

Usability comes in many forms, and has many ingredients to it. For a start, the layout is the most important. You can have good graphics but bad layout, and your site is ruined. Not thinking further than your own computer screen is a big mistake. If a page does not fit my screen when I open it up it already lost some points, so standardised width is a bonus that all good sites have. Even if you don 't fill up the screen on bigger resolutions, having it usable on all is n good point (like nokia.com or cnn.com). Where you place everything is going to make it a good site or not.

Usability testing is a technique used in user-centered interaction design to evaluate a product by testing it on users. This can be seen as an irreplaceable usability practice, since it gives direct input on how real users use the system.[1] This is in contrast with usability inspection methods where experts use different methods to evaluate a user interface without involving users.

The Report that is generated by the Tenon Webtool not only helps the user to understand the accessibility issues but also helps the developer or manager of the website to make corrections to improve the accessibility of the webpage.

The measures for the success in Web personalization is defined by the set of handy beliefs that have been verified in this research. It was empirically exhibited drawn from various literatures such as algorithmic performance and user’s satisfaction. The former literature pertaining on computational intelligent, whereas the later belongs to Information Systems (IS) studies. From literatures in AP, it shows that many algorithms have been developed to cater the success of a WPS. However, user’s satisfaction from IS theory is also important in defining the success. It ranges from various aspects such as acceptance of technology that can be found through TAM, Web quality (WEBQUAL), IS-success model and verified with user’s behaviors for predicting the intentions of use and adopt Web personalization via TPB framework.
