What is usability testing and how does it relate to web design?
Answers
A wireframe is a diagram or sketch of a web page that focuses on structure and layout, 
not visual elements such as color or graphics. A mockup is a visual representation of 
a page that includes font choices, colors, layout, and images. A prototype may contain 
elements of wireframes or mockups but is primarily concerned with demonstrating the 
interaction between a user and the site.
Information architecture is the process of organizing a website’s content and defi ning the 
navigation of the site.
Usability testing is the procedure in which a user is given a task or series of tasks relating 
to a website, such as purchasing an item, and then asked to determine where any 
confusion or diffi
  culty in navigating appears. A web designer would take this feedback 
and improve the site design as needed.
