Abstract :It is crucial that a website reflects a quality user interface insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UI); that brings out the holiday enthusiasm for users, while still remaining user friendly and a simple area that is easily accessible. To achieve this, it is important that user experience designers measure the efficiency of the interface interaction between human and machine and ensure continuous interface development. In order to test interfaces and find differences, 3 different travel web sites was selected with experiments performed with 38 participants. Tested travel website interfaces are Trivago, ETS Tour and Odamax. Participants performed 6 different tasks during the experiment and after these tasks, a think aloud protocol was implemented and NASA-Task Load Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NASA-TLX);, IBM Computer System Usability Questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IBM CSUQ); questionnaires were applied. In order to analyze the differences between interfaces, task completion time, number of errors, success rate, IBM CSUQ questionnaire average and NASA TLX questionnaire average were collected as data. ANOVA analysis was performed between interfaces using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program and Independent T test was used to test usability by gender. According to ANOVA results, task completion time, number of errors, success rate, IBM CSUQ survey score average and NASA TLX survey score average change significantly as interface changes. Respectively, Trivago, Odamax, ETS Tour has the highest cognitive load in the measurements. According to the results of independent T tests, there is no difference between men and women in terms of interface usability.
