What do you think about doing remote usability testing with narrated video on wireframes? At trymyui.com we’re thinking of launching a lower-cost service just for testing during the wireframe stage. For example, you upload your (clickable) wireframes and specify the tasks you’re interested in – we dispatch it to our testers in the demographics you specify, and we record them as they comment on the wireframes while they are performing the tasks. You would receive a 5-minute video of their interactions. Is this something that is interesting?

If your or a reader is interested in running some free samples and seeing how it all works out, please contact me via the feedback on our website and let me know. Thanks.

@sara: Hi Sara, thanks for the comment. I've used Clicktale (free try-out) a long time ago but was not very satisfied with the usability of the application. Maybe I should give it another try and see if they made some improvements! Thanks for the tip!

@Paul Olyslager:

Aaah ok makes sense now. Thanks a lot for the compliment – good to know people are reading and enjoying my blog

Btw another trick I’ve come across for the blur effect is to close your eyes so you can only just see, then check out what stands out on the screen and what doesn’t. Your CTAs should still stand out, though they’ll be a bit blurry! If they don’t stand out, they’re probably not large enough or need to be a more contrasting colour.

@usabilitygal: Hi Lisa, just wanted to thank you for letting me know that I made a mistake . It should be pixels and not percentages. By the way, love your articles.
