Why this question matters

Many teams know their website feels confusing for users, but they’re not sure what’s causing the problems. Content builds up over time, menus grow, and important tasks get buried. Before fixing anything, teams often need a simple way to review their site and understand what’s slowing people down.

What makes a website hard to use

Most usability issues come from things that aren’t obvious at first glance: unclear menus, outdated content, poor readability, broken forms, or pages that don’t work well on mobile. These issues make it harder for users to find information or complete tasks, which leads to frustration, drop-offs, and more calls or emails for help.

How this checklist helps

This quick checklist guides you through the most important areas of usability so you can spot issues fast. It helps you review navigation, page clarity, accessibility basics, forms, and mobile experience. The result is a clear list of improvements you can make without a full redesign — helping users find what they need and complete tasks with confidence.
