Websites: Promises and RealityIs Your website ready for visitors?

Every time You’re using the wwwYou could get crazzy. Should this be the

future?

The website holder has the best ranking in www

by words, but You’re waiting for loading his

website. The site was developed over months,but there is badly readable content. You’ve paid for Your website, for SEO, to be find in search engines for Your content. But the website is on page 999 in

search results.

The quality of online services is determinedby an huge amount of little things.

Time spending and error liability parts for displaying websites are multiplex.

The website visitor is only viewing the results of an complex process.

Often he can only evaluate websites throw the loading time, usability/accessibility and position

in search engine results.


How to change the website quality?… I’m only the website visitor!

… I’m not so familiar with computers

Feel free to send feedbackto

website holders and

website developers !

How often you’re asking yourself: Is this website ready for visitors?


Feedback, that’s the way.But useful Feedback!

Every website visitorcan giveuseful

feedback.


Where to get Basic’s for feedback?I’ve no time to study computers!!!

But Youhave time!

... to wait for loading websites,… unreadable content,

… to search for informations for hours …Day by day, isn’t it frustrating?


Basic’s for feedback.The usual way.

You could

• study in computers for years,• buy tools for testing websites for a lot of money,• read results from website testing services, …… but You rather would give some feedback


You want to help to improve website’s.Let’s do it!

You not want to spend a lot of time or money for

preparing qualified feedback, of course.You’re doing your hard job. The www is only giving

information for your purposes.So, how can You do it?


That’s also my current situation.I asked myself, is there a way

to evaluate websites automatically?

You’re guessing it, there is!

I spent lots of time to find a way to show combinedund detailed website evaluations in one view.

Let’s explain …


Website evaluation by facts.

Colors, the configuration of pictures on websites, the original content and many other things are a

matter of taste.

There are a lot of technical facts determining the quality. I combined technical facts within a service

in three parts:Performance, Usability/Accessibility and

SEO Onpage Optimization.


Evaluated Facts (overview).

Performance:syntax-errors/warningsimage count/sizecount of filescompression routinepossible software optimizationarrangement of files in source code


Usability/Accessibility:content-headers and there orderkeypad functionsalternate description for imageswebsite preparation for printouttables incl. summary descriptiongeographic tagging informationuse of favicon and cookies

Search Engine Optimization:list of keywordswebsite descriptionlinks o.k./broken?emphasis words in contentstopwords among keywordskeywords in content

Results of website evaluation in one view.

The are over 60 technical facts. It can be tested, if they are present, by the quality of software

standards and text-parts they are containing.

At the end the result is shown in one percentage.100% are given for an super perfect site (in practice

nearly impossible).


Results in one percentage (overview).

The number of green/yellow/red evaluated and marked results are shown in a diagram. The

summary (quality) for all facts is shown in one percentage. Nearby is a legend for color and

percentages.


Results of website evaluation in details.

The over 60 technical facts which have been evaluated are shown in a table. Moving the mouse

over the text in the table there is shown a short explanation for the tested fact. The background

color of one cell in the table depends on the result for the actual fact. It can be green, yellow and red.

Lets show two examples:


List of the Results.

It’s possible to test different single websites of an homepage. For later comparisons it’s also possible to assign a branch (culture, sport, industry …) to

each evaluated website. The following list contains results of evaluated sites. If different sites from one homepage where evaluated, the last result and the

min / max –results are shown in one line.


Short information during evaluation.

During the automatically evaluation You will be informed about the progress like this:


Give feedback!

How You could see:There is no need to be in computers. With this single factsheet You can give detailed feedback

back to the website holder and developer.

… to improve the website


Further development.

In the screenshots there are some buttons for menu items like FAQ, feedback and so on.

This items are under construction. Just now I’m testing with a lot of different websites to get some

special cases for evaluation.


That’s Your part.Your opinions and ideas are wanted!

In they current stage of development I’ve to decide, the amount of the further development.

Questions are:Does the tool makes sense?

Does it give the visitors enough advantages?How many visitors / developers would use it?

Are there ideas for improvement?
