Another Survey (Including Website Usability Scale Template)
Published on Feb 25, 2009 (updated Jan 31, 2025), filed under design, usability (feed). (Share this on Mastodon or Bluesky?)
I’m doing it again: Do you have another 15 seconds to answer a couple of questions?
Survey: How usable is meiert.com?
The survey is based on the System Usability Scale (SUS) John Brooke presented in the 80s, which means nothing less than that there’s another experiment taking place with me testing SUS on this site.
Despite the fact that I may not be able to share the findings, I do, however, share the templates for the survey, one saying “system,” the other saying “website”:
Google Docs should give you the option to copy the spreadsheets and create a form similar to the one I created.
About Me
I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a web developer, manager, and author. I’ve been working as a technical lead and engineering manager for companies you’ve never heard of and companies you use every day, I’m an occasional contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.
I love trying things, not only in web development and engineering management, but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my experiences and views. (I value you being critical, interpreting charitably, and giving feedback.)
