Pros


Pass

Great little idea for a site this. On-the-fly-rapid user testing for seeing what people’s initial thoughts are about your site (memory test) or which button they would click first (click test).You can either take tests or set them if you have a website design that you want to get in front of people.

It is a nifty little way of encouraging sites to incorporate real user-feedback into the design process.

Cons


Fail

Though whilst dead useful bear in mind it’s not to be replaced with a full user test, which can expose a lot more usability issues. Also the site can sometimes throw up the same (or similar) designs test after test, probably due to overkeen users wanting to get their designs out there…
