Usability Evaluation of eCommerce Site:

Sappi's eCommerce

Sappi’s eCommerce site is in its 4th generation. Given that the technology landscape and in particular web technologies and designs are constantly evolving, and user-friendly, usable interfaces are not just expected but needed, and therefore a thorough heuristic evaluation of the current site was conducted. Findings include 55 major and minor improvements to make the site even more effective and efficient. Furthermore, a user test with users from three continents surfaced both additional usability issues and ideas for improving the overal design of the site.

Evaluating Crowdsourcing Platforms:

CrowdEvaluation.nl

These cards allow you to evaluate crowdsourcing platforms, identifying certain gaps or missing features. Using the cards is the starting point of the (re)design of the platform. The aim with this evaluation is to transform the platform act more as an online community. Research shows that the social aspect of a platform is especially important for the long time use by members. Therefore, maintaining members to grow and become experienced necessitates a social platform. (work conducted with Simon à Campo)
