25 point Website Usability Checklist

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my process. Experience is a powerful thing, but it’s rare that we really sit down and try to map out what we know. A while back, as part of my 5-point Website Clinic, I developed a 25-point website usability checklist – a way to create some method out of my madness and make sure that I don’t forget anything critical when I’m working with a new client.

Even though it’s part of one of my paid offerings, I’ve decided to share this checklist. A few disclaimers: First, I don’t claim this list is comprehensive or unique. Jakob Nielsen has a great 113-point checklist in his book, Homepage Usability, for example. This is just my way of organizing what I think is important while trying to keep it manageable. Second, my usage of terms may vary from yours. I use “usability” in a very broad sense, and my use of “accessibility” isn’t quite industry standard. Don’t like it? Write your own checklist ;) Finally, an advance warning that this post is pretty long.
