George Childs wants to share some tips on security and speed to help you make the most of your WordPress website.

Usability Testing Workshop

You don’t really know your own website until you’ve watched over someone’s shoulder as they use it. One quick usability test can give you a world of information about how people respond to your website, especially by showing you what confuses them. I’ll teach people how to do this test, and then we will split up into groups and test on each other.

Why This Topic?

I like being liked, and most people really enjoy this seminar. I enjoy watching lightbulbs go on above people’s heads, and also the moment when people smack their forehead as something that should have been so obvious jumps out at them while they’re testing their own website.

There is also a really fun moment in most usability tests when the test user says, “I’m so lost! I can’t find the button!” and you as the test facilitator have to sit on your hands and bite your tongue because the button is so obviously there, but you’re not supposed to help the user until the test is over. That always gets me.

What Will You Take Away?

I hope participants will know how to make their websites easier to use, so that their visitors will be happy.
