Another Survey (Including Website Usability Scale Template)
Published on Feb 25, 2009, filed under design, usability. (Share this post, e.g., on Mastodon.)
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.
Although 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 an engineering lead, guerrilla philosopher, and indie publisher. I’ve worked as a technical lead and engineering manager at various companies (e.g., Google); I’m an active web and tool developer (code optimization, digital defense), a contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and a book author (O’Reilly, Frontend Dogma).
I love trying things—in web development and engineering management, but also in politics and philosophy, where I hold to one idea in particular: that we can only be well if we take good care of everyone. Here on meiert.com I talk about some of my perspectives and experiences. (Interpret charitably but be critical—and share feedback and advice that makes my work better.)
