Websites are typically rated depending on the number and severity of the issues we find. Because technical standards are constantly evolving, our criteria is also updated regularly.
All our website reviews are performed by human beings, not automated software. We follow our own testing methodology to ensure our results are consistent. All work is always done by hand.
We believe in creating a consistent digital world, and advocate for minimum standards of quality for all websites. During our testing we verify if websites meet or exceed the Digital 2020 annual milestones.
We are an independent business without any ties to search engines, and as such, our advice is not biased. We treat every website fairly, allowing everyone the same opportunity to improve.
