Audit Framework
1. Heuristic Evaluation
Evaluate against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics:
| Heuristic | Question to Ask |
|---|
| System status | Does the user know what's happening? |
| Real world match | Does it speak the user's language? |
| User control | Can users undo/escape easily? |
| Consistency | Does it follow conventions? |
| Error prevention | Does design prevent mistakes? |
| Recognition | Is information visible vs. remembered? |
| Flexibility | Are there shortcuts for experts? |
| Minimalism | Is every element necessary? |
| Error recovery | Are errors clear and recoverable? |
| Help | Is assistance available when needed? |
2. Visual Hierarchy Check
- Is the most important element most prominent?
- Does the eye flow logically?
- Are related items grouped?
- Is there appropriate white space?
3. Interaction Audit
- Are clickable elements obvious?
- Is feedback immediate?
- Are loading states handled?
- Are empty states designed?
4. Content Evaluation
- Is copy clear and concise?
- Is terminology user-friendly?
- Are labels descriptive?
- Are CTAs action-oriented?
