These websites should be effective and easy to use as usability is an important aspect  of a good software product.  According  to the  literature review little  work  has  been   conducted   for   the   usability   evaluation   of   Pakistani universities websites.  So. there was  a need  to conduct  the usability  evaluation  of these
websites. This research study evaluated the usability of the selected public sector university websites through heuristics evaluation and usability testing methods. Initially, the existing  website  was  assessed  through  heuristics  evaluation  and  usability  testing methods. Th usability problems found during this assessment were fixed by redeveloping the websites. The usability testing of the newly developed website was again conducted, and the results were compared. The results revealed that the newly developed website is more effective and efficient; moreover, the users were also more satisfied.  aDEPARTMENT OF IT  uhttp://tinyurl.com/5n95bb4s
