I'm a big fan of Jared Spool's 5 second test technique and have used it to appraise content on numerous occasions. I also promote it at our Writing for the Web sessions. The beauty is in its simplicity.
In this podcast, Jared and Christine Perfetti discuss:
- Why 5-Second Tests should be used primarily to test a site’s content pages
- Why 5-Second Tests aren’t effective on most Home Pages
- How to conduct this test with your users
- What some of the common mistakes design teams make when conducting a 5-Second Test
- How to recruit users with this technique
- How to combine 5-Second Techniques with other types of tasks
5-Second Usability Tests - Podcast to download or listen online, plus transcript
I've previously blogged a great article that covers much the same stuff:
