I'm an website developer in Plymouth, Devon and like you I know that in any box of web development tools there are always a few favourites.
I would not be a real man unless I had a favourite tool, one that for me at least is perfect for any job.
Do I have a favourite tool? Am I a proper man?
Yes to the first question and perhaps to the second.
Am I digging myself a hole? Undeniably.
Seems I'm a real man after all - if you'll excuse the play on words.
Time to climb out of my ever so carefully dug hole have a proper builder's mug of tea and get this article back on course, back to the subject at hand: Usability.
Not just usability though but usability testing. Sounds really unsexy, doesn't it?
That is, my fellow website developer mates till I make it clear that the tool I am thinking - the one I adore for any web development job - permits you to test the usability of your website wireframe before you build the thing.
In fact , if you wanted it to, with the tool I'm thinking of, you could test the usability of a web site design that you drew on a sheet of toilet roll.
Now even the least sexy of us would have to agree that testing the usability of a design you drew on a piece of toilet tissue is a pretty sexy idea.
Who doesn't get a little flushed at the idea of it? I know I do.
'Don't stop there ' I hear you cry. Do not worry, I won't.
This particular tool is so good it tests over 300 website design elements against usability best practice allowing you to give your design (on a sheet of toilet tissue) a convincing score measured against all the benchmarks that are important to your clients.
That's why I like UserPlus.
It lets me impress clients with designs on toilet tissue and proves that they rock beyond any shadow of a doubt.
How cool, sexy and manly is that?
Thank you UserPlus for making usability testing manly - like it should have been from the word go!
