Usability (as well as accessibility) is a too broad topic to be discussed in one post of course. Besides, I am no professional web designer or usability professional to offer any expert advice on that. Still I’ve come across a couple of fun and useful tools that should be shared at SEJ:

1. Five Second Test - run a quick free page usability poll:

• make a screenshot of a web page you want to test
