How easy is it to use the website?

How does the website work? Is it well-arranged or organized?

  • Can you navigate or find your way around the website easily?
  • Can you find the information you want easily?
  • Does it have a sitemap or search function?
  • Are headings and other aids to comprehension used to good effect?
  • Does it have graphics/images that help you understand the information?
  • Does it use a font size that is easy for you to skim-read?
