UX Audit Skill

When to Use

• Reviewing a page or feature before release
• Identifying usability issues
• Evaluating design decisions
• Comparing against UX standards

Audit Framework

1. Heuristic Evaluation

Evaluate against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics:

2. Visual Hierarchy Check

• Is the most important element most prominent?
• Does the eye flow logically?
• Are related items grouped?
• Is there appropriate white space?

3. Interaction Audit

• Are clickable elements obvious?
• Is feedback immediate?
• Are loading states handled?
• Are empty states designed?

4. Content Evaluation

• Is copy clear and concise?
• Is terminology user-friendly?
• Are labels descriptive?
• Are CTAs action-oriented?
