Introduction: With the increasing use of the Internet, increased demands for interactive interfaces that meet user expectations. Even with all the developments, there is still a need to improve the quality of information available on the web, especially when it comes to sites aimed at older people. Objective: Therefore, this study, qualitative in nature, aimed at evaluating the usability of a site that contains information about leisure activities for seniors, taking into focus the dimensions, layout, and operation information. Method: For this purpose, we used the Survey Site Usability on Leisure (IAUSLA-21 +) applied to a purposive sample consisted of 30 elderly, male and female students of a digital inclusion project in São Paulo. Data were analyzed descriptively using Thematic Content Analysis. Results: The results showed more strengths than weaknesses in relation to the usability of the site, especially with regard to the layout and information. Conclusion: The site had good results also in relation to user satisfaction. Suggest a few adjustments to be made operational in the size of the instrument and therefore further studies to deepen this theme.
