Abstract
The analysis of the quality of university websites is of great importance both for the university itself and for candidates for studies or students. A well-designed interface can contribute to the attractiveness of the university in the eyes of potential students as well as facilitate their use by current students and university employees. The article presents the results of a study of the quality of websites of four universities in Lublin: Lublin University of Technology, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, the Higher School of Economics and Innovation and the Higher School of Entrepreneurship and Administration. The study included 32 adult secondary school students, including 16 high school students and 16 technical school students. The research process included four research methods: measurement of task completion time based on a scenario, the SUS questionnaire and the use of the think-aloud protocol and focused interview. The results obtained indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the interfaces of the university websites studied.
