The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland created this toolkit to support programs that want to use text messaging to gather outcome data following limited scope legal services.

A website should be easy and intuitive to navigate for the website user. Jackob Neilson defines usability as the “quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use.” Although user’s opinion of a site can be helpful, usability refers specifically to how well people engage with a website. Neilson develops five “quality components” that we will use throughout this guide as benchmarks for a usable site. These include:
