Standards auditing and consultation

Do you know what the weaknesses in your site are?

Deliver your message effectively
The average time that a user stays at a site that they have never been to is about 30 seconds. You have these precious few moments for your site to load, to engage the customer, and to deliver the experience that they expect.

How do you know if you are delivering your message? What don't you know about your web site? QuadraTech's auditing services provide comprehensive answers to these questions.

We are equipped to offer detailed, accurate reports about your site to help you reach more of your audience, deliver them your message, and keep them reading.

Reach more
You can't rely on your web site to generate prospects by itself. Your site may be pretty, but does anyone see it? Can every user who attempts to visit your site actually access it? Can you tell?

QuadraTech auditing services can provide a broad range of reports to enable you to determine whether your web presence makes an impact or is merely incidental - and how to improve it.

Key services

• Browser Compatibility - There are hundreds of browsers and browser variations in use today. Don't only be compatible with one.
  • We can provide you with an analysis on which browsers your site works with, and more importantly, which ones it does not.
  • What are the browser adoption trends? Which browsers does it make sense to support?
  • How does your site rank in compatibility with the average site? Your competitors?
• Accessibility - Eight to ten percent of the current population has a disability, and it may prevent them from using your site. With the average age of the population rising globally, this issue will become an increasingly important one. Your organization can not afford to intentionally ignore this market segment.
  • Depending on your market, you may be in violation of the law if your site does not accommodate those with disabilities.
  • QuadraTech can perform an audit to determine if your site is accessible with those with Visual, Auditory, Physical, and Neurological disabilities, and make recommendations on how to correct these issues.
  • Many accessibility issues can be resolved by minor alterations.
• User Technology Reliance - When critical business function relies on the user to have specific tools, it decreases the amount of individuals that can effectively use the site. Your organization can increase its customer base by reducing the amount of technology responsibilities it imposes on users.
  • We can analyze your site to see if security or usability is compromised by users with disabled/variable client-side script support.
  • Many formatting choices can cause pages to 'break' when accessed by certain users. QuadraTech can recommend formatting and technology changes to counteract the effects of user variability
• Search Engine / Vendor presence - Most users find a web site through intermediaries like search engines and vendor links. Many sites are not taking full advantage of these vital sources of traffic.
  • QuadraTech provides analysis and consultation to make you site search-engine friendly.
  • Vendor links provide a certain trust in your site that a simple web search does not. Make sure you are capitalizing on all available traffic resources.
• User Interface Conventions - There is another, but equally important, aspect of site usability is adoption of conventions that are typical of the internet user experience. Failing to adopt these de-facto standards make your site harder to use. QuadraTech will verify your site to determine that the user can find the information, products, or services that you offer.

Most technical and design decisions do not include attention to one or more of the above issues, resulting in lower market penetration, lower quality experience, and lower site usage. Let QuadraTech provide you with the information necessary to maximize the effectiveness of your web.
