A Usability Audit contains recommendations for making your web application easier to use. Using a range of tools, we can assess how users are experiencing your application, pinpoint problematic areas and provide recommendations for change.

We offer a variety of usability testing methods, including fast informal sessions, remote user testing, field research, heuristic evaluation, user task modeling and formal sessions in a lab environment.

Accessibility means access for all. Anyone using the internet, no matter what their hardware configuration or disability should be able to access your web application. We can investigate your web app to discover if it accessible to the blind, navigable by those with physical disabilities, and readable for the colour blind. We can help you to open up your web app up for the access and convenience of all.

Heavy pages cause delays for users, especially for the significant number of people still without broadband. They can also lead to more expensive hosting costs. A page weight review can pin-point problem areas, and make specific recommendations to help decrease the file size of your application.

The browser market is becoming increasingly diverse, with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera increasingly attracting users away from Internet Explorer. In addition, there are often several versions of each browser in use at any one time. It’s important to test for bugs and inconsistencies in each of these variations, to make sure your web application is displaying properly across the board.

Xwerx has a dedicated testing environment in which to conduct these reviews, allowing us to provide you with independent, unbiased reports regarding your application.
