About the UX Booth
The UX Booth is a group that writes about User Experience, and offers free Website Usability Reviews that all designers and developers can benefit from.
Improving the usability of our world is not a task that just one can complete. At the UX Booth, we hold this single idea as a truth that drives us to collaborate, share, and create with others to help define a better experience for all.
About Our Authors: The UX Panel
Authors at the UX Booth form the UX Panel, a group of four web laymen three web laymen and one laywoman. Together, these individuals bring a great deal of experience and knowledge to the world of user experience — each specialized in different areas allowing each to offer unique perspectives and personas on User Experience.
The authors also provide frequent usability reviews of user submitted websites — for free. This service is offered to benefit the entire community, as principles identified and discussed in such tests can often be applied to similar problems on a wide range of websites. There is a long waiting list to have sites reviewed (typically, such a service costs businesses hundreds, if not thousands of dollars), so be sure to submit your site today.
