Usability Testing

Usability testing is a technique used to evaluate a product by testing it on its users. It allows you to observe real people use your product in real time to determine whether or not they can reach the desired end goal.

Respondent Recruiting

Because we are moderators, we know how important it is to find good study participants. They can make or break your study. We strive to find people who are fresh and engaged in the session, not serial respondents.

Focus Groups

We have beautiful modern new offices to share with our clients. In addition to our state-of-the art usability lab, our suite now boasts a full-service focus group facility with a large two way mirror.

Expert Reviews

While not to be viewed as a replacement for usability testing, when time is of the essence, Mediabarn provides expert reviews of websites and web products to help ensure your concept or design is right on track.

Remote User Testing

Need to get your product in front of customers in various geographic locations? Remote user testing, online focus groups or our portable lab allow you to go where your customers are, while eliminating the cost of travel.

Stakeholder Interviews

Sometimes it’s difficult to determine corporate objectives when contemplating a website launch or redesign. Understanding the strategic and tactical implications of large-scale site implementation is critical.
