Five-Second Usablity Test

I mostly deal with small companies or companies that don’t want to spend a lot of money on a website. That’s why I was excited to read about the 5-Second Test and the fivesecondtest.com website that will let you run these tests for free.

From fivesecondtest.com:

“Conducting a five second test allows you to find out which elements of your user interface are the most prominent. You do this by asking users to recall elements they saw after looking at your interface for five seconds.

To create a test all you need to do is upload an image of the interface you’re testing, enter your email address, and your name. A link to run your test is generated for you that you can share with friends and colleagues.

All submissions made by your test users are then emailed to the address you provided.”
