Government heuristics: Evaluating the usability of a grant application site

Project

Evaluate a grant application website run by the Ministry of Education to determine whether to iterate on the existing site or redesign it from scratch.

Process

We documented the site’s usability via a thorough regimen of user testing, eye tracking, heuristic evaluations, and content analysis.

My part

I contributed to mapping out the current site structure and task flows for each user group, critiquing the heuristics of the existing site, and providing examples of well-designed counterparts as benchmarks.
