| If you already have
a web site we can assess how well it performs for you with a web site evaluation. We look at various areas of
performance as well as aesthetics and provide ideas for improvement where we feel that an enhancement would be
beneficial. |

|
|
| Issues that we look
at would include the following: |
|
|
|
Navigation
It's counter-productive to have stunning web page full of wonderful images if it takes to long for your pages
to download. You need to strike a balance between aesthetics and download times but this doesn't mean boring
pages. Simply by processing images more effectively, for example, a surprising amount of time can be saved. |
|
|
|
Content
This might sound obvious but there’s more to content than what you expect your customers want to find.
Every time a customer visits your website you have their attention! Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to
promote your products and get across the information you want your customers to see. |
|
|
|
Accessibility
Advances in browser technology have provided the ability to create stunning dynamic pages with, for example,
animations and sliding menus triggered by events such as the movement of the mouse. If you want to take
advantage of such rich features you need to bear in mind that not everyone has the latest browsers or
plug-ins. It is essential to provide alternative content for users of older browsers or those who have
turned off features like scripting or the use of cookies. Simply stating that a user should upgrade their
browser will likely drive potential customers away. |
|
|
|
Integrity
Finding errors, broken links or that a pages that don’t work using certain browsers or with scripting
disabled can be unhelpful and looks unprofessional. The beauty of the World Wide Web is that users should be
able to read pages regardless of software or platform so it is impossible to test every eventuality. However,
your web site should be tested against the most common versions of the most common browsers and then with
features such as scripting enabled and then disabled. |

Download times
