Abstract

The usability is recognized as an important quality factor of any modern website. In this paper, techniques for usability evaluation of a website are proposed and their use is described. The results of application of these techniques are discussed in the frame of the design and evaluation of a web portal, serving an Academic Department. The applicability of the developed techniques in a wide area of web-based applications and their importance in the context of today's web applications development is also discussed in this paper.
