User Needs Analysis
User Needs Analysis is part of the ongoing process of developing a site that will effectively meet the needs of prospective users. It aims to identify:
- Potential users of the site.
- What they likely to use the site for.
- How and if they will be able to achieve their goals.
Online surveys, focus groups and card sorting are among the techniques Web Usability employs to help you assess user needs for your site.
As well as identifying and prioritising the site goals of visitors, User Needs Analysis will help determine the technological requirements necessary for them to achieve those goals.
