> Hello!
> 
> Are you interested in having the design of your website (or app) tested for free?  
> The success of your website depends in part on how easy it is for people to use, so this is an opportunity to learn how to make your website simpler for visitors and more successful for you.

> The backstory for those interested...
> I'm teaching a class at Ithaca College in which the students do rapid prototyping of websites/apps and learn how to conduct a wide range of tests and inspections for usability.  For their final projects, they do comprehensive evaluations of websites culminating in a final report with findings and recommendations.  This is my 3rd time teaching the class. The students do great work. The project doesn't impose on the client beyond the initial interview. These projects are designed to support the local community while creating a rich student experience by engaging them in an applied learning experience working with actual business leaders.

> So, if you have a website or app that you would like to redesign in the near future, the best place to start is to figure out what about your current design works well and what just gets in people's way.  I encourage you to apply to be considered for our usability study.  it's a 5-field form... just takes a minute.
