This has been cross posted.
 
However, if you are a JAWS user, and live in the general
vicinity of Wiltshire, you could earn a few shillings to
help pay the Christmas bills off.

Website Research in Wiltshire (Ref: AM2)


Hello,
 
I hope you don't mind me contacting you.  I found your
details on the internet, and wondered if you might be able
to help us.  I appreciate that you are based in Northampton,
but wondered if you might have contacts/customers more local
to us that may be interested in taking part in our research.
Any assistance you could offer would be very much
appreciated.  The details of are research follow:
 
The Web Usability Partnership is a research organisation
specialising in making our clients' websites more effective
(more about us on our website http://www.webusability.co.uk
<http://www.webusability.co.uk/> ).  We undertake website
testing for Government and private sector organisation
websites and we recruit people to help test these sites.
 
During early January we will be conducting accessibility
research for a well-known online shopping website and are
looking for blind and visually impaired people to help test
the site.  We need people who are experienced users of
screen-reader technology (e.g. Jaws software) and use this
to access the internet.  The research is quite simple.  It
will involve attending our offices in Chittoe (Wiltshire),
and spending approximately 1 hour giving feedback on the
website.  There's no prep work in advance, and no subsequent
commitments.  This research will be conducted at a
pre-arranged timeslot - at a time convenient to the tester.
This session will be recorded so that we can analyse the
results following the research session, however your
anonymity will be protected at all times.
 
Why would anyone want to do this?  Well: 
*  We will pay for the time involved (£50) plus travel
expenses  
*  It will be helping to improve a website that should be
valuable to other visually impaired people  
*  And it's quite fun! 
 
If you could circulate this email to colleagues or members
that might be interested I should be most grateful.   Anyone
interested in participating should contact me
(beckie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and we can discuss further
details.
 
Many thanks
Beckie May
