Mike CottonWhen it comes to creating a website for businesses, there are some very crucial features that you should include. These are things that are important to maintaining your brand, keeping your customers informed and allowing your customers to get to know you or your company on a more personal level.

Paul SteinbrueckWe think we want more information and more choices, but the reality is that we are busy. People want information that gets to the point. And fewer, clearer options help people make decisions.

Kurt SteinbrueckOver the past week I’ve written about what usability tests are, why they are beneficial for businesses and organizations and how any company/org can perform usability tests. Hopefully, everyone has already started planning their next usability test, but just in case you’re not yet sure, I thought I’d address some common reasons organizations don’t do usability tests:

Kurt SteinbrueckIn my previous articles about usability testing, I wrote about ways for businesses and organizations to perform their own usability testing with minimal cost, time, and difficulty. One of the great online features that make this possible is LiveStream.com with Procaster. No, this is not a paid endorsement. We were just so thrilled with LiveStream’s service when we did our last usability test that I had to share.

Kurt SteinbrueckIn my last article I wrote about what you would need for your usability test. You can see that information here in part 1. Today, I’m going to write about the process of the usability test. How do you perform a usability test?

Kurt SteinbrueckLast week I wrote about what a usability test is and why it is a great tool anyone and everyone should use. Usability tests can be real eye-openers, revealing things about your website that you never realized. These revelations can be the difference between having a successful website and an unsuccessful site or the difference between having a good site and a great site.

While businesses can certainly benefit from usability testing, so can churches…and anyone else with a website for that matter. So, what is usability testing and why is it so important for you to start doing it?

Paul SteinbrueckThis morning I read an interesting article on EpiscopalChurch.org by Deb Cuny titled In search of communion: Cross-country pilgrimage reveals keys to church growth. The article describes part of her journey of faith, and by “journey” I mean that literally. In 2008 she sold all her stuff, rented out her house, and [...]
