Heuristic Review, Credited Against Build

About this Service

A structured review of your site against Nielsen's usability heuristics. Every finding names the principle it breaks, rates what it is costing you, and says what I would do about it. Findings without a named principle are opinions, and you can get those free.

What I look at

  • Navigation and information architecture

  • The path to your main action, and where people fall out of it

  • Forms, errors, and the moments that lose people

  • Content hierarchy, and whether the page says what it is for

  • Accessibility basics: contrast, focus, labels, keyboard

  • A competitive pass against two or three comparable sites

What you get back

  • Every primary task walked the way a user walks it

  • Findings rated Critical, High, Medium or Low, by user impact rather than by how loud the problem looks

  • A specific fix for each one, not a direction

  • A document, usually eight to fifteen pages, with the heuristic, a severity, a screenshot and the change I would make for every finding

One reviewer finds roughly a third to a half of what a panel of five finds. This is the fast read, not the exhaustive one. If you need certainty, real user testing is the next step up.
