Instruction manual
1
Analyze the task. When evaluating a site, specify for what purpose it was created. Perhaps this is a business card site of any enterprise. Then the representative function is important for him. Evaluate how much the site coped with it and whether it gives an idea of the specialization of the company. If we have before us the site on which the online store is located, it should be evaluated according to other criteria, such as the availability of convenient navigation, the possibility of payment through various payment systems, and a high-quality basket of goods. The site, which is a photo gallery, it makes sense to consider in terms of design, as well as - the speed of loading images.
2
Rate the site structure. Are all the important buttons located in the part of the screen that is visible without using the scroll bar. Also check whether access to the pages of the site is provided in a maximum of two clicks. Subject to a site rating using points, subtract one if this condition is not met.
3
Reread all text materials. They should be relevant to the general topic of the site being evaluated, written without spelling, stylistic and punctuation errors. It is also important to evaluate whether the texts are paragraphed and whether subheadings are spelled out. If not, it makes search engine indexing difficult. So feel free to take off one more point.
4
View photos and other graphic elements. It is important that they be of good quality, but light in weight. The latter slows down the page loading, which will be critical for users who do not have high-speed Internet.
5
Analyze the site for filling tags, although some web designers consider tags to be atavism, search robots still treat them with a certain reverence. Examine the code for garbage. Sometimes it becomes clogged with unnecessary commands, so some functions of the site stop working normally.
note
When you evaluate a site, first analyze the task that is assigned to it. Otherwise, the risk of incorrect estimates is high.
Useful advice
Site evaluation should be carried out as objectively as possible. For this, it is better to set criteria in advance.
