•Was it quick to load?
•Is it easy to navigate?
•Is the page easy to look at and understand?
•Is the information structured and organised?
•Does the design give the right message to the audience?
•Can you spot the hyperlinks or image maps easily?
•Do you have to scroll too much?
•What is your overall impression of the site?
