UsabilityHub is a valuable tool used by various departments within organizations to gather quick and reliable feedback on website design, copy, and features. Users can easily send screenshots to UsabilityHub for testing purposes, allowing them to assess whether a page is cluttered or if the copy is clear. By leveraging real users, the platform provides valuable insights that help validate designs and identify usability and clarity issues. This enables multiple individuals in the organization to incorporate user feedback into the design process effectively.

One of the key use cases of UsabilityHub is in the Marketing department, where it is utilized to test new designs of ads, pages, headlines, and more. Additionally, it offers a convenient way to test navigation on a page or throughout a series of pages without the need for live site testing or sufficient traffic. The product's versatility shines through as it facilitates testing ideas for different platforms such as desktop, mobile web, Android, iOS, and iPad at both wireframing and visual design levels. Moreover, UsabilityHub addresses the common problem of designs not receiving enough real-world validation before going live, ensuring that potential issues are identified and resolved prior to launch. By leveraging its extensive tester database, this tool enables organizations to gather responses cheaply and timely while maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability in their testing process.

Users commonly recommend the following when using Usability Hub:

  1. Sign up for UserCrowd to learn from others and improve testing. Many users have found value in joining the UserCrowd community, as it allows them to gain insights from other testers and enhance their own testing skills.

  2. Test tasks on colleagues before launching to a full sample. Reviewers suggest conducting initial testing with colleagues or a smaller group to gather feedback and refine the test design before reaching a larger audience.

  3. Play around with Usability Hub's features to find the best test design. Users advise exploring the various options and functionalities offered by Usability Hub. By experimenting with different test designs, testers can tailor their approach to suit their specific needs and achieve more effective results.

In addition to these recommendations, users express a desire for more options for mobile devices and tablets, as well as easier-to-read data. They also emphasize keeping tests simple and avoiding niche audiences or complex questions.

UsabilityHub was used by the Marketing department in my organization. We used it to test out new designs of ads, pages, headlines, etc. We also used it to test out navigation of a page/a series of pages. It was a great tool to use if we wanted to test something out but didn't have the time or necessary traffic to test out the item on a live site.
  • Testing out design - ads/websites
  • User preference for a certain design
  • Ease of navigation of a certain page/series of pages
  • Add additional demographic sorting options for the audience to better meet the needs of B2B users - for example include industry type, functional area, etc.
  • Bring back the navigation test type
  • Add additional test types
UsabilityHub is great for testing out an item where you need responses quickly and/or you don't have sufficient traffic to test out an idea on a live site/environment.
UsabilityHub is not suited for testing out items that require a specialized knowledge. For example, we had headlines to test out related to purchasing energy, but not every tester in UsabilityHub's pool had the level of knowledge needed to give a qualified opinion on this subject.
  • Positive - It would give us responses significantly faster than testing out a concept on a live site
  • Positive - It allowed us to reach a wider audience for our tests (beyond our website traffic)
  • Positive - The quick turnaround time and quality of feedback encouraged other internal units to want to test more as they saw the return quickly.
Like UsabilityHub, VWO is a testing platform but it tests against a site's users, not a set pool of testers. There is more flexibility for testing with VWO as you could use a WYSIWIG/edit HTML/CSS to make changes to a live site vs. UsabilityHub where'd you have to upload image files.
UsabilityHub is great for testing out small parts of a page/site or ad campaign, but VWO is better suited for larger concept tests.
