In the session "Widgets, Tools & Doodads for Library Webmasters," Darlene Fitchter and Frank Carvone showed off a variety of cool things for personal and in-library consideration, but with our upcoming website redesign, I pulled out the best of the usability tools they mentioned.
VisCheck - a computer simulation of vision issues which shows how the page will display to users with different visual concerns.
Feng GUI - simulates heat tracking on your website (where users are looking the most and their reading patterns); displays things like orientation and density
Browsershots - creates screenshots in different browsers for the website creators to revew; submit your web address and get back the results in screenshots from different types of browsers.
These were all very interesting, and I can't wait to share some of the other sites with a variety of CCLS staff members.
BTW - too late for April Fools, but run your favorite site (or possibly one create by someone you know) through the site LOLinator. Very Cute!
