HD Website Audits

Last Updated (27.08.08)

Would you like an independant assessment of your website? Hyperactive Designs conducts website audits against a comprehensive list of criteria ranging from visual appeal to search engine friendliness: -

• Graphic Style and Usage:
  Often the site owner will approve the look and feel of their site according to personal taste. Our assessment of style an image usage is based on the demographics of your target market.
  
• Webserver stats analysis:
  Nearly every webserver will keep logs of all traffic usage to your website. Many programs are used to turn this raw data into meaningful information; however these programs are intended for a technical orientated reader. Included in our analysis of your website is a translation of these statistics into an easy-to-read report.
  
• Usability and Navigation:
  Is all the content of your website accessible and presented to the visitor using logical navigation? The most common usability issues we come across are Javascript/Flash menus and forms that require cookies. If your website requires Javascript and cookies to function, it will leave a trail of frustrated users.
  
• SE friendliness:
  Are the search engines referring traffic to your website? If not, perhaps those Javascript menus are inhibiting the search engines from navigating to your content pages. We identify the problem areas of your site that inhibit the search engines and/or subvert your webpages from turning up in the results pages.
  
• Page load times:
  In Australia, there are still more people on narrowband (dialup & entry level adsl) than there are broadband users. If your webpages are too heavy with high quality graphics and/or bloated code, page load times can get frustrating for narrowband users. Get your webpages benchmarked and problematic areas identified.
  
• Content analysis:
  Many websites grow over the years and outstrip their original content structure. This can lead to illogical and hard to follow navigation and ultimately, loosing visitors.

Full reports can be costly, so Hyperactive Designs can tailor the analysis to include some, or all of the criteria above.
