The webinar is Language Access Strategies for Legal Aid Websites and will look at some of the topics surrounding removing language as a barrier to access online content. We will cover topics including maintaining multilingual content, where machine translation fits into the translation workflow, and how are people with limited English currently using online resources. We don’t have the solid takeaways like in the phishing webinar but there were a few interesting points we discussed.
Website Usability Testing Guide
This guide is designed to assist you and your program to understand the basics of usability and website usability testing. It is broken down into the following sections with subsections to provide a thorough understanding of the field.

Executive Summary
Why Test for Usability?
Usability testing will save staff time, money and administrative overhead by defining what users need, how they find information and what information they are searching for. By listening to users, understanding how they interact with your site or tool, and responding to the needs users actually articulate programs can avoid spending unnecessary time and resources and better serve their users.
What to Test - Site goals, user tasks, testing scripts and metrics
When conceptualizing a website we rarely articulate what users must do, instead, we focus on what our site does.
When to Test - Beginning, Middle and End
Usability testing is a priority when launching a new project, and it is vital to test your interface at each level of the design process.
You should conduct user testing when:
Creating or redesigning a site;
Changing the goals of your site (i.e.:, adding donation capacity to your site);
Who to Test - Participants
The idea of finding individual participants to test your site can be overwhelming and a stumbling block to routine user testing. However you do not need hundreds of testers to obtain good information.
The Nielson Norman group indicates that 5 users can uncover 85% of the major usability issues, and 15 users can find 100%.*

Site Goals
To meet each goal, users may need to engage in different tasks, such as navigating different paths. By articulating your goals in concrete terms, you can focus your site’s design and what to test.
Example Site Goals
Receive donations and present mission
Provide legal information
Reach out to potential donors
User Tasks
Once you articulate your site’s goals and the steps users must take to complete these goals, you must articulate specific questions or tasks. Frame your questions to ensure users can accomplish realistic tasks that reflect concrete goals.
Some questions that you could ask include:
Can a first time user find my agency’s mission?
Can a return user remember how to find my agency’s contact information?
