UserTesting.com

HEROweb strives to create functional, attractive, and user-friendly websites. But hitting the right usability formula is a process that can take time and varies from site to site.

UserTesting.com provides an in depth overview of your website conducted by actual people for only $29. You will receive a 15 minute flash video as well as a written summary detailing the strengths and weaknesses of your website. The users range from inexperienced to experienced web surfers, but all of them will give you a detailed and thought by thought analysis of your website. This information is invaluable when trying to attract and hold the attention of potential costumers

We have no affiliation with this company, but it seems like a great service.

See a sample video here or visit UserTesting.com for more information.
New Feature: Free Shipping Coupon

Encourage repeat orders with a coupon for free shipping. If you already accept coupons on your web site, we'll add the option for free shipping coupons to your web site for free. If you are interested in adding this feature to your site, please let us know.
