By the end of this course, you will be able to perform structured usability audits that dramatically improve the user experience of any web or mobile application. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles of human-computer interaction and usability; Apply Nielsen's ten usability heuristics to evaluate digital interfaces; Integrate modern accessibility standards into your heuristic reviews; Conduct structured usability audits and document actionable design recommendations; Evaluate mobile-first designs and responsive layouts for usability friction; Collaborate with product teams to prioritize and resolve identified issues. The course starts with foundational definitions of human-computer interaction and usability principles. You will then progress through detailed explanations of each heuristic, practical evaluation workflows, and written exercises designed to build your audit skills. This course is designed for beginner UX designers, product managers, and developers who want to improve interface usability without needing prior design or technical experience.
