Government of Canada Internet Guide
By evaluating the usability of your Web initiative, you can see if it meets
your clients' needs and expectations. This step is a crucial part of creating,
launching and maintaining a successful site, as it lets you see how well you
have planned your initiative and presented information and services to your
clients.
Base your evaluations on commonly understood goals, achievable performance
expectations and a realistic measurement plan. Evaluation may lead you to
revisit what you have done and the guidelines you have been using. You may, for
example, want to modify the design, content or other site elements so that
navigation is purposeful yet simple and so that your site remains current.
There are five parts to this section.
