It may not be as thorough as hiring someone, but in a pinch, it will let you know where the glaring inconsistencies are.

Which, that’s better than nothing.

Recently I needed to replace the belt in my vacuum cleaner. After a few minutes of Googling around, I decided to go to the manufacturer’s website. It was extremely easy to use.

However, some sites don’t have the luxury of usability testing on a regular basis. For them, it may be better to list their products on other sites that help market, sell, and follow up to customers. Sites like Amazon and Google Checkout are my top picks.
