Description:
This type of evaluation is a self appointed walkthrough when the "expert" uses the rules of web design to measure the website's usability and reports issues found.
For this report we tested the library "homepage" and multiple "Locations" pages.
Key take aways:
Overall the site is successful in a meeting web usability requirements.
The site can improve by focusing on site learnability, findability, and delightfulness.
We ran the website through an accessibility test, WAVE 3.0 to check for any errors. The UMKC website had 3 alerts and 3 errors when ran through the site. Three of the errors were due to a temporary banner that is posted to the top of the site. These errors existed because the banner provided a link that was a dead end. The alerts were assigned due to the length of the alternate text. WAVE 3.0 believed that the length of the alternate text descriptions could be better by using less text. Overall the website's accessibility score is very high and we do not recommend any changes at this time.
