Pre-Launch Evaluation
Back to Services

Pre-launch evaluation provides the necessary step of testing the usability of a new site design and architecture before it goes live. This evaluation can be an integrated part of an iterative design process or a quick but essential check as the go-live date approaches

Business Benefits

Reduced Risk
Eliminate the risk of launching a site with disruptive and extreme usability problems.

Lower Design Costs
Use pre-launch evaluation methods early in the design process to identify potentially costly mistakes before implementing them.

Defensible Design and Architecture Choices
Drive site design decisions based on data and user feedback combined with site goals. Then present that feedback when rolling out the new site to an internal audiences.

High Quality User Experience
Discover and build on successful site elements before you go live - not after.

Architecture Proof
Avoid trapping your site in an architecture and navigation based on theory, not practice. Prove the proposed architecture through testing and evaluation.

Third Party Validation
Don't depend on designers or architects to validate their own work. And internal employees are often too close to the project to effectively perform the role of disinterested evaluator. EaseAbility can play that role by testing and validating critical choices like visual design or navigation.
