Abstract

Website assessment is still a very much ill-defined practice, conducted by some and largely ignored by most. Instruments to help assess and measure the usability of websites are vital in ensuring that websites not only meet their intended purpose but are also usable and accessible. This chapter presents a checklist comprised of 15 factors and 157 items matured over years that are rooted in cognitive psychology, instructional design, computer science, but most importantly, human-computer interface study, which can be used to guide researchers and practitioners in assessing the usability and accessibility of website design.
