Card Sorting
Card sorting is an invaluable tool that helps you understand how participants organize content. Why is this important? Having an intuitive navigation and well organized content will help customers easily find what they’re looking for and spend less time aimlessly clicking around. Regularly conducting card sorts will improve your website navigation and content find-ability.

Test with our participants or your own
Use the PlaybookUX panel to recruit participants for your card sort. You can choose from a variety of demographic filtering and add screening questions to find niche participants. Additionally you can send your own customers a link to participate in the card sort.
Saved audience
If you’re using consistent demographic filtering and screeners, set up a saved audience to save time on your project setup.
Flexible Settings
Customize the card sort to meet your objectives and reduce bias. Randomize cards & categories and add tooltip descriptions to describe cards that may not be intuitive. Additionally, you can add images to cards.
Find patterns
Leverage the cards grid, categories grid and matrix to analyze research. You can merge similar categories to make grouping decisions.
Card sorting with or without a recording
Conduct a card sort without a recording or include it in an unmoderated or moderated session.
Test Images
Conduct a card sort with images. You can add labels or tooltip descriptions to the cards to make it easier for participants to sort.
Similarity Matrix & Dendrograms
Use the similarity matrix to uncover correlations between cards. Visualize the correlations with dendrograms. These analytics will help you make more informed grouping decisions.
Segments
When you're using the PlaybookUX panel, you can set up segments to ensure exact demographic quotas.
