Jeff Woelker : Chicago SEO, SEM, and Online Marketing Consultant

Hi All,

Announcing today, I am starting the city usability project. The City Usability project is a pet project of mine whereby I will analyze the ten most populous cities in the US and their websites in terms of usability. My plan is to then move on to how city offices, buildings, transportation, and other tax payer funded resources are not meeting the best standards or practices for usability or ADA standards.

If you’d like to help out, I’d love to get some other people involved, as I can really only speak to what I find on the internet, recall from previous trips to New York and Seattle or my day to day interactions in Chicago. If you have a story to tell of how you were not able to figure out a city map, get on a bus with your wheelchair, find the city office you were looking for, or any other problem where you thought there would be an easy solution, but some interface kept the information or experience from you—let me know.

Also, if you are a graphic designer, I am looking for a cool logo I can use on the site. Let me know if you are interested. Check back here and CityUsability.com for future updates.

You can always contact me at jeff@jeffwoelker.com or info@cityusability.com.
