Business2www, the leader in automated diagnostic testing and monitoring of websites, is developing key development, delivery and operating standards for those specifying and / or purchasing website services. Providing a defined delivery specification as an integral part of procurement terms and conditions will help to ensure that any new website is purchased against known and measurable standards.

Website procurement not having in place documented minimum standards or targets for functional performance when the site is commissioned makes it difficult for the site to meet a level of operating standards. A suggested example of these standards is available at no charge by email request, offering terms that websites can be measured against and delivered to.

The primary cause of errors and other operating and performance problems which bedevil websites is the difficulty in establishing key performance targets and standards. It is clearly imperative that such standards can be measured and monitored, otherwise they will simply not be achieved.

"If it isn't measured, it isn't managed" - "It's what's inspected, not what's expected, that gets done"

Our standards, which both can be measured and monitored by Sitemorse™ and relate to the realistic objectives which website investment must achieve if the targeted return on investment is to be realised.

"Far too many websites in far too many key sectors - corporate, commercial, institutional and government - are compromised by errors and other problems which are easy to make, relatively easy to remedy, but have been virtually impossible to find prior to our development and launch of Sitemorse™. By far the best way to achieve this is through specified standards and targets which can subsequently be measured on a routine and regular basis using Sitemorse™" says Philip Sheldon.

When considering technical and operating requirements (targets & standards) Sitemorse™ provides a unique, accessible and affordable start-point to optimising and remedying website performance which is below specification, expectation and an acceptable customer satisfaction or cost efficiency standard.
