Abstract
The Information Technology Center (ITC) of De La Salle University proposed to launch the new faculty scholarly output website. The faculty scholarly output website is for updating online research output in terms of journal or conference publications for each faculty. The faculty will input and edit research output information in the website. This inputted information will serve as the official research record of the faculty. A usability study was conducted to determine the usability problems and pertinent webpage design factor in the layout. This study aims to determine the common mistakes being committed in using the website and the important design factors to be considered in webpage design. Thirty people comprising of faculty, student and staff from each of the university college were gathered to do the test. The usability test made use of CAMTASIA software to record and analyze the results. The result of the study identified three usability problems: navigation, wording and inconsistencies. The design factors that need to be paid careful attention to prevent usability problems: grammar consistency and the object-action interface model.
