Abstract

The dissertation is an attempt in bringing out the importance of Critical Usability Analysis which is a very good website review technique . The results give an overall user opinion about the various pages that include the main theme , quality content , aesthetic sense technical issues and feedback techniques

Questionnaires , interviews and surveys were used to conduct and check the usability analysis of

the website . These results were consolidated and then analysed , laying down the foundation for future work in the area

There are many reasons why users do not visit websites , so it is important to find out these areas and try and eliminate them one by one so that the website when uploaded is available to people from all geographic areas giving an opportunity for different opinions to meet discuss and educate a culmination of ideas that is what the World Wide Web is today
