Ann Smarty pulled together 3 tools you can use to test the usability of your site.

Five Second Test Take a screenshot of your site and this tool puts together a little poll you can send around via social media to ask for feedback on your site.  They’ll have 5 seconds to see your site then will write down 5 things they remember about your site.

Feng-GUI Takes a heat map of your site and gives you an idea of where people’s eyes are likely to land.

Usability Checklist A reasonably thorough checklist created by MIT that will help you shape your evaluation of your own site.  Guides you through navigation, functionality, user control, language and content, online help and user guides, system and user feedback, and web accessibility.
