Accessibility & Interactivity
Skip Allums Usability Consulting
• “Seniors fear technology” is a stereotype.
• “The fastest growing group of new U.S. users on Facebook are 55-to-65 years old. Up 175% from Sept 30 2008 to Feb 1, 2009 – Fortune”
• Similar growth can be found in recent years for Skype, Flickr, Twitter, etc.
• Even AARP.org has zooming, mouse-guided carousel interactions.
• There is a happy medium between the utilitarian and the abstract.

Overall Findings
Skip Allums Usability Consulting
• Trends toward image heavy designs as opposed to text-based.
• The best sites funnel the user by offering clear self identification opportunities e.g. “I own a small business, I’m looking for commercial grade insurance”
• The worst sites offer no direction or user path. Users aren’t sure where to start the process, or how to contact the company.

highest priority, offering quotes for multiple products in one interaction

crowded. • Tabs aren’t actually
“tabs” – each landing page has a different visual treatment & layout.
• Dry. Very little brand voice, when compared to media campaigns
