Reviews of Websites, Software, and an Occasional This-Or-That

This is a list of just our website reviews. Contact me for a review of your site. Reviews similar to those you see here are US$200.

Our Criteria Checklist We evaluate sites using this checklist of 33 items but don't stop there. When your site involves principles that challenge our checklist's thoroughness or logic, we'll work on those issues too, and consider adding them to the list. If your site isn't conducive to the checklist, as occurs on more functional applications, we'll start from a clean slate, as has occurred on a few reviews. Our experience, in fact, is centered around web applications moreso than marketing sites.

Other Heuristic Checklists

Take a look at some of these other checklists for web design:

Duke University 1996 Checklist by Dr. Nancy Everhart, 2 pages approximately 40 items. Simple, content-centric, a little dated but good emphasis on authentic value. Inspired us to start on another checklist design, a tree-style one that starts with the broadest trunk of "Visitors Get What They Came For."

Xerox Corporation, Deniese Pierotti's Heuristic Evaluation - A System Checklist, a 20-page usability checklist. Lots of valuable information but probably sags under its own weight, as is typical of big-company stuff, in that it tries to exhaust every UI notion and in so doing becomes a treatise not a tool.
