Why use it?

The issues revealed by the expert usability evaluation help site designers to enhance the good parts of a design and eradicate the parts that would cause problems for its users.

The evaluation can be performed at any stage in a project, from initial prototypes to a finished and established site or product. It is most effective, however, when used as part of an iterative design cycle. In this role the evaluation can assist the design team to rapidly improve the performance of the interface, whilst avoiding the introduction of costly errors that might propagate further into the design.

The evaluation can also provide compelling objective evidence to support a business case for making changes to a design.
