				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2.-usability-testing.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79600" alt="2. usability testing" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2.-usability-testing.jpg" width="540" height="213" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In my first usability test, I met a dear old woman who didn&#8217;t know how uses a mouse. She lifted it up and pointed it at the screen, encouraging the cursor in verbal tones! At the test’s conclusion I got completely nothing.<span id="more-79596"></span> But I quickly learned the importance of laying down very exact criteria for recruitment of participants.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have run such a usability test in the past, you know how tough it is to conduct. It may not be rocket science, but there are certain difficulties involved which make a huge difference. I will share some lessons that I learned, in this article, which ought to help you prevent your usability test from becoming an exasperating experience for both you and your test participant.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Learning through one’s mistakes they say is the finest way to realize things. But all of us don’t get that opportunity. I will discuss some guidelines that I learned in my career path which ought to assist you in quickly improving your usability testing talents and so avoid the occupational hazards.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ask Specific Questions About Design Usability In Your Test Script </b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you begin another test of usability, don’t suppose that all you require is to select the key website areas and ask users to finish those tasks. You could discover some helpful insights by using this technique. But it shouldn’t surprise you that when you present your findings to the project stakeholders you have to face a barrage of questions for which you have no answers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Talk to the folks you have to report to; ask them what are the key questions they have to research for answers. If you have a host of questions, line them up in priority before you work your way forward and answer them in the best way possible. If the questions are vague or if you are not sure why they have been asked, get some clarification. More you comprehend why the questions are being asked, the better prepared you will be in answering them.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Make Participants Behave Naturally</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When participants appear for a test, they’re generally unsure about what to anticipate. They’re likely to be nervous as if a camera was poking into their faces and someone was looking searchingly at them. Don’t be amazed if they seek guidance at the start. If you exert too much control at the beginning, you’ll give them the feeling that they have to get your permission before doing anything.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Persuade users to act naturally by starting the test with an expansive task that allows them to explore in any way they would like to. I normally make use of previously prepared test queries to reveal an actual hassle they face in the perspective of the test and then I allow them to answer in as natural a way as possible. I was once testing an online realty website. Thus, in the first assignment, I asked them to hunt for a residence in the place where they would like to purchase &#8212; with a fixed budget. This helped us to get a true scrutiny of how they use the website and also set the context for upcoming test tasks.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Give Users Freedom To Do The Task Their Way</b></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3.-dev.png"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-79602" alt="3. dev" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3.-dev-600x256.png" width="600" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In days gone by I used to give a task and when users began to go off the track I’d pull them in and tell them to make another attempt. I was very controlling and was at times losing my relationship with the participants.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always give your users room to roam freely about the website and even go off the track a bit before you haul them back to the task’s purpose. You could feel that you’re losing power or that the user has not understood the job. But resist the temptation for some time for it could be enthralling to watch where and why they go to.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Relax, Keep Quiet And Watch What Happens</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s easy to be strict and only see what you require your users to do. When they produce unexpected, interesting things, it is very useful if you ask them what’s in their minds. But this must be done early and often or you will fail to correctly observe natural behavior.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don’t interrupt the flow of your participant’s thought processes. The more you butt in, the more likely they will lose the confidence to finish tasks without help. If you keep on ask them questions frequently, they will lose the flow and you will not see their natural behavior.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Prepare The Participants’ Tasks Openly</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you attempt a new task, you would like to have control of the variables and shut down the unfamiliar. Experience will teach you to let go of domination as you get more assured that you will be able to tackle everything that crops up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I used to like writing out the precise scenario for a task. But I quickly learned that they do not engage in the same way when I give tasks that fit in with what they normally would do. I once asked a teenager to think that he was a mother of 3 children in order to finish a job. Not surprisingly, he stared at me in a strange manner and did not get really involved in the job, before giving it up and saying he could not find it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Set your users’ overall task but try to be nonspecific and then specify the situation to the participants. While this may not be possible always, there is great value in spending some time at the start of the test to learn who your participants are present and their use of the same kind of services/products. If you are able to use this scenario to form a test situation that matches the real problem they would like to resolve, you will be able to learn a lot more than a situation where a person only pretends to be in the picture.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Include Tasks On Websites of Peers/Competitors </b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you spend an entire hour on one website it can bore both you as well as your participants. And boredom is not the only trouble! All your discoveries and scrutinies are based on a single, remote case. You don’t have a real awareness of the reason why that person all the time reaches out for the search box, or if he/she did it only on your website for the navigation options confused them. Looking at just one website will not give you a true picture of web usage by people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make time to examine your competitor’s or peer’s websites, as a part of the test. Ask your participants at the beginning details of the websites that they are currently using; tell them to show it to you. Then introduce a competitor’s/peer’s website that they have never used. Now you will learn far more about their behavior patterns and why they selected this website and not that one. Importantly, you’ll get to know what functions well on websites other than your own, and why.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Don’t Tell Them Which Website You Plan To Test Immediately </b></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/comic5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-79603" alt="comic5" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/comic5-600x180.jpg" width="600" height="180" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have erred in the past by making it clear to participants the website I was about to test. This may be difficult to evade, sometimes, but do it if it’s possible. The benefit from this action is that it becomes pretty hard for someone to be totally sincere about their website experience if he/she is working for the web company as either an employee or agent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In Short&#8230;</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s very beneficial to get participants test competitor’s websites and provide you sincere feedback, before going to the website that you will test. If you achieve this and not let them know which website you are going to test, you have a greater chance of getting honest feedback from them. When the test’s end is approaching this will be obvious for you would have gotten a fairly good perception of their sincere first feeling of your website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Summing Up… </b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you wish to better the technique of your usability testing, the best way is to have more tests. But, as I’ve pointed out here, you must attempt to be conscious of how you design your test tasks and how you interrelate with the participants. This can crucially affect the result of your research. If you design your test in such a way that it concentrates on essential research questions; if you are not too strict with your tasks, that’s a good starting position. Additionally, if you include rivals in the test procedure and encourage users to act naturally, you’ll get better results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you have liked this post. If you have any queries convey them by way of comments. I’ll try to answer them in the best way possible. Also, I’ll enlarge on this subject in future articles.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">These days, being efficient is all about using the right tools so whenever you are starting a new type of project you need to be aware of the best ways of creating your projects.<span id="more-79115"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> You need to find the apps which will help you the best because if you&#8217;ll use something not so good, you will find yourself in a lot of unwanted situations. Modern tools must be portable and available wherever you are and even more important, to be platform independent. Thanks to the internet, we now have a plethora of applications available online so we don&#8217;t have to constantly install software apps on every computer that we work on. With internet access and a good browser such as Google Chrome you can do a great portion of your work online, from any type of device. As a web developer you will always need small apps which help you with different tasks such as checking if a website is online or how a web page looks like on different browsers. Installing all of these applications can become annoying, especially if you work on many computers, therefore you should look out for online alternatives.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When starting learning how to create web applications or websites, one of the most popular advice is to read tutorials and put them into practice. There are a plethora of web development books but the theory is useless without jumping into action. Nowadays thanks to the evolution of the web, we have a lot of tools for creating stunning websites but the building blocks of any online-based project is the old HTML.<span id="more-74321"></span> Sure thing, &#8220;old&#8221; is an improper word thanks to the newest iteration but you get the point. HTML5 practically opened the door to endless possibilities and it offers a way to create virtually anything you want. Well, almost anything because when you get down to business you&#8217;ll realize that HTML by itself it&#8217;s not enough. Among other programming or scripting languages you&#8217;ll need JavaScript, or better jQuery which will help you take your website to a higher level.</p>
<p>So, if you decided to start your web development career, then you will need to learn both of them. In this article I have collected 40 very useful HTML5 and jQuery tutorials that will show you different solutions for many of the most common problems that can appear when building a website or even more, they will help you understand and add hot features on your site. We will start with HTML5 tutorials and then we&#8217;ll dive into more complicated stuff showed by the jQuery tutorials.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think that after creating a website the job is done, you are wrong. You need to constantly monitor the availability and the accessibility because if you let it unattended, a little problem can ruin everything. <span id="more-71453"></span>You need to monitor if your website is online, how fast does it load, how it reacts on stress tests and so one. There are many online tools that are able to help you with these things but as we know, not all are efficient. Below you can see a list of 10 most important tools that will help you make sure your website is working ok.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.pingdom.com" target="_blank">Pingdom &#8211; get notified when your site is down</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/11.png"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-71454" title="1" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/11-600x286.png" alt="" width="600" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>Pingdom has a very strong and narrow focus. That focus lies on covering the uptime monitoring needs of 90% of the companies in the world. Instead of branching out into other areas, we will instead place all our efforts into maintaining the best uptime monitoring service available.</p>
<h2><a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights" target="_blank"><strong>Google web page tester</strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/10.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71463" title="10" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/10.png" alt="" width="600" height="221" /></a></p>
<p>Page Speed Online analyzes the content of a web page, then generates suggestions to make that page faster. Reducing page load times can reduce bounce rates and increase conversion rates.</p>
<h2><a href="http://dnscheck.iis.se/#dnscheck" target="_blank">Dnscheck &#8211; check your website&#8217;s DNS</a></h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-71455" title="2" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2-600x256.png" alt="" width="600" height="256" /></p>
<p>DNSCheck is a program that was designed to help people check, measure and hopefully also understand the workings of the Domain Name System, DNS. When a domain (aka zone) is submitted to DNSCheck it will investigate the domain&#8217;s general health by traversing the DNS from root (.) to the TLD (Top Level Domain, like .SE) to eventually the nameserver(s) that holds the information about the specified domain (like iis.se). Some other sanity checks, for example measuring host connectivity, validity of IP-addresses and control of DNSSEC signatures will also be performed.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/" target="_blank">DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/3.png"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-71456" title="3" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/3-600x255.png" alt="" width="600" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>As the title says, this service will help you to see if there is something wrong with a site or is just a local problem.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.webpagetest.org/" target="_blank">webpagetest.org</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/4.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71457" title="4" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/4.png" alt="" width="600" height="305" /></a></p>
<p>Run a free website speed test from multiple locations around the globe using real browsers (IE and Chrome) and at real consumer connection speeds. You can run simple tests or perform advanced testing including multi-step transactions, video capture, content blocking and much more. Your results will provide rich diagnostic information including resource loading waterfall charts, Page Speed optimization checks and suggestions for improvements.</p>
<h2><a href="http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php" target="_blank"><strong>AChecker</strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/5.png"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-71458" title="5" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/5-600x303.png" alt="" width="600" height="303" /></a></p>
<p>This tool checks single HTML pages for conformance with accessibility standards to ensure the content can be accessed by everyone. See the Handbook link to the upper right for more about the Web Accessibility Checker.</p>
<h2><a href="http://sipt07.si.ehu.es/evalaccess2/index.html" target="_blank">EvalAccess</a></h2>

<p>EvalAccess 2.0 is an on-line web accessibility evaluation tool which has been developed using Web Service technology. Due to its architecture it can be easily integrated into other applications such as authoring tools. This tool provides different methods for evaluating web accessibility: evaluation of a single web page, evaluation of a web site and evaluation of HTML mark-up. It returns a complete report of errors as a result of the evaluation.</p>
<h2><a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/" target="_blank"><strong>Feed validator</strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/7.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71460" title="7" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/7.png" alt="" width="600" height="217" /></a></p>
<p>This is the W3C Feed Validation Service, a free service that checks the syntax of Atom or RSS feeds.</p>
<h2><a href="http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx" target="_blank">Mxtoolbox &#8211; Check if your site is blacklisted</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-71461" title="8" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/8-600x311.png" alt="" width="600" height="311" /></a></p>
<p>This test will check a mail server IP address against 117 DNS based email blacklists. (Commonly called Realtime blacklist, DNSBL or RBL).  If your mail server has been blacklisted, some email you send may not be delivered.  Email blacklists are a common way of reducing spam.</p>
<h2><a href="http://loadimpact.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Load impact</strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/9.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71462" title="9" src="http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/9.png" alt="" width="600" height="248" /></a></p>
