I am a big fan of remote testing. The comfort level of users is so much higher and this leads to more authentic responses. It's easier and easier to do tools. The tools can be a challenge - but here's a tip for a formal remote lab: We…

Good comments here. I use a combination Uservue (combined with Morae), and Usertesting.com for live sites. The latter doesn't let you define specific testers. There's also OptimalSort's Chalkmark and Treesort for earlier testing on…

Warren Does the website need a breadcrumb? Isn't the navigation structure enough? The problem with breadcrumbs styled as "following the real visitors path" gets to complicated for the site you discribed. As you stated in your…

Right Warren! Most of the sites use Location one as it matches their Sitemap Links.The Path option is a True Breadcrumb.

Thanks Rajat. Those definitions are very helpful. I suppose the Path option is the true breadcrumb trail, but the Location is how it's more often done.

Thanks David, I guess I'm sanity checking an approach and your response and that article leads me to think I'm on the right track! I'm already featuring ideas like previous searches, suggestions, things like this and things other…

Hi I guess it's hard to say much specific without any inkling of the domain, but... I would imagine... "Unskilled novices who come to the site once or twice a year with urgent information needs" - given some Google experience, I…

Filtering is the key. If there's only a limited number of statuses that these 6000 items can take, then you should pretty easily be able to filter them down to make sense In a previous project we used an idea of a "lense" a circular,…

Warren Anthony replied to Manoj Wadhwa's discussion 'Why is USABILITY so interesting?'
It's at the core of design, and that's what excites me about it. Design these days seems to mean flourishes and techniques; and so real design is now covered by a crap word: "Usability".

Advice: Breadcrumbs in a multi-hierarchical site structure?

So, I'm working on a site with tons of content. We've architected it to work for two very different user groups we've identified (unskilled novices who come to the site once or twice a year with urgent information needs, and subject experts who use the site repeatedly).From a backend perspective, each individual piece of content (e.g. article, video, regulation info) can sit within several categories and topics and will also be given arbitrary tags by our client CMS team.Breadcrumbs are doable,…See More
