A few months ago, Scott from
TheMediationMind.com has asked me to perform Usability Testing on his site, and back then I found
some major problems and the look and feel wasn't quite there yet. Since then the site has improved dramatically but there are still some tweaks that need to be made.

I am a huge
JomSocial fan. I use it all the time and enjoy almost every minute. But like any website and application JomSocial’s usability too has room for improvement. The mistakes aren’t huge but they are easily fixed.

JomSocial is a
new exciting Joomla extension. Up until now we had to work with Community Builder which is buggy, hard to use and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to fix (trust me, I've done that). From first look at JomSocial, it appears that it's a HUGE quantum leap from Community Builder, starting from how easy it is to use (without reading the manual!), to the way the profile looks on the front end.

The guys at
CMSExpo.net organize professional events for Joomla (and other CMS systems next year). The organizers of these events, John and Linda Coonen, are professional Web designers so my expectations were high. They didn't disappoint.

CompassDesigns.net is a very popular Joomla blog, with great content and resources. I had seen the site before but hadn't used it very much, so my first impressions were pretty accurate. The design of the site is beautiful and clean, which is expected from Barrie North, who is also a partner at JoomlaShack.com, the leading template providers for Joomla.

NinjaForge is a popular extensions provider for Joomla. I had seen their site before, but had never purchased anything there nor was I very familiar with it. Their brand is well-known though, something that's generally missing in the Joomla world. Founder Daniel Chapman asked me to test his site and perform the following tasks.

I was asked by
Azrul to test his site for usability. Azrul is one of my favorite Joomla developers and I appreciate his extensions. His design is top notch but does the site match the quality of his products?

“We found Merav to be brutally honest, and extremely accurate. After testing our website internally for several months, we came to the conclusion that the site was very user-friendly; however, after Merav’s review, we discovered that there were several problematic areas that needed to be fixed right away. Merav not only indicated problems, but she went further to provide solutions on improving our website. We would highly recommend her services!”
