Broadcast in Canada on 9th January 2006, the show featured our Sitescore tool as means of quickly testing your website for free.
Extracts from their closed-caption transcripts:
Amber: This is a site called Silktide and Katya uh, recommended this site. it's really, really cool. what you do on the right hand side is you enter the url for your website and you test your website.
..
Leo: What's it testing for?
Amber: What it's doing is how many people link to you, it's telling you if you adhere to accessibility standards.
Leo: Oh, this is great all in one--
Amber: All in one. It's telling you, you know, giving you some marketing advice in terms of--
Leo: Search engine authorisation.
Amber: Search engine authorisation and those types of things so there's a bunch of things it gives. Some of them are a little off sometimes but it does a pretty good job.
..
Leo: Let's quickly go back and see the analysis.
Amber: Yeah, we'll quickly go back so we'll take a look at this just quickly. So here's a summary of the site from Suzi Bluford. So it gives you a scale out of 10 on marketing, design, accessibility, experience and visitor rating. She got a nine on experience which is really, really important. Um, and it goes accessibility she hasn't done so well. Um, the design she's done really well and then it doesn't just do that though it goes into um, detail in terms of the breakdown of why she didn't do well, it talks about like legal requirements in Britain, popularity ranking, links to a number of links, use of forms, popularity on google and those types of things. It's really a full, full report.
Leo: That's really cool.
Amber: It's really cool.
Leo: I'm gonna do it right now.
Amber: Yeah, you know, there are some things it says you don't need to adhere to, it's really the highest, highest level but it gives you some really quick, fast feedback.
