Many of us have Google Analytics set up for our legal aid or legal content websites. And many of it are using it to see the basics -- visitors, page views, demographics and the like. But how do you start to get a more nuanced look at whether visitors are getting value from your site, what pages are working well, and-- the holy grail-- whether your site is "succeeding" at your goals?

Mediated Unmediated Staff person walks the tester(s)through a series of tests and follows a script Less structured allowing the user to act naturally with minimal input Script describes the test, handles user questions, and concludes the test
In-person testing In person testing allows you to see and interact with users in real time, with minimal barriers. If you choose to test your site with in-person testers (where you monitor and your testers share a physical space) there are a few options:
Heuristic Evaluation Scenario: You want to compare your website's interface against a set of widely accepted principles with a few people to assist. What/Why: Heuristic evaluation involves a small set of evaluators examining an interface and judging its compliance with usability principles or "heuristics".
