usability testing

Let’s start with Performance Tasks

Identify 3 scenarios/performance tasks for users to do while visiting your portfolio.
You could have them find and download your resume, locate a specific best works, find out your contact information….. you get the idea.

You will test these tasks with multiple users and observe and record your results.

Simple Animations

Let’s look at some basics to assist your page interactions. We’ll play with a plug-in to our headtag called Animate.css

Head over to Codepen – America’s favorite sandbox!

/* The transition property can be declared as longhand or shorthand but must be done in the order below */


/* longhand -----*/
  transition-property:color;
  transition-duration: 1s;
  transition-timing-function:linear, ease, ease-in, ease-out;
  transition-delay: .5s 

/* shorthand -----*/
  transition:color 1s linear 0.5s; 

Other animation properties – let’s test those out too….

  • @keyframes
  • animation-name
  • animation-duration
  • animation-delay
  • animation-iteration-count
  • animation-direction
  • animation-timing-function
  • animation-fill-mode
