5 second usability tests for your website
This sounds like a great service:
2. Upload the image at www.fivesecondtest.com and plug in your email address.
3. Email the URL for the 5-second test (shown on the subsequent page) to anyone willing to give you some quick feedback. If you have a decent amount of followers, post the link to Twitter and/or Facebook and ask for volunteers.
4. Sit back and relax.
When a user clicks the link, she sees a page that explains how the test works and what to do. When she clicks the button to start the test, your uploaded image displays for 5 seconds, then disappears. The user is then asked to enter everything she can remember about the image (via 5 input fields on the next screen). When she clicks “Done”, she sees a Thank You page and an email is sent to you that contains all of her responses.
Once you have replies from a few users, you’ll spot the trends. Are they noticing the most important things in your design? If not, tweak the design and run another test.
