Abstract :
This article presents the experience of a heuristic evaluation on the mobile website of the National University of La Plata, UNLP, based on the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium, W3C, for this type of interface. It also includes a brief reference to the methodology used during the development process, in which prototyping and evaluations had a leading role, taking into account the specific characteristics for being both an educational and a mobile website. The evaluation took place through two mechanisms, a manual or human revision and an automatized validation. This concluded with endless problems and errors discovered through both mechanisms. They are being analyzed and solved in order to achieve the quality of use required in the final version of the mobile website.
