Evaluator Tools of The Trade

Internal and External Web Site Link Check

Xenus Link Sleuth LogoLinks are checked by our reviewers for the entire web site by using Xenu from their local computer.

HTML Link Validator LogoIn our web production tool chest is the HTML Link Validator professional version which builds a comprehensive list of reports which are available for those whom our team reviews, which will be furnished upon written request.

Small Web Sites

Web Accessibility Tool Bar (Beta).

The Web Accessibility Toolbar in beta version is an addition to Internet Explorer and is used for code and accessibility validation, browser compatibility and various other tests to determine acceptance for the criteria.  It is activated while online and viewing the nominated web site.

Firefox is our preferred browser for reviewing web sites because of its small footprint, ability to block popup windows and ad-ware.  Also by adding one of the many developer tools now available, the tool bar, we have all of the "validation" tools available plus extra goodies too.

A tool bar like the ones for Internet Explorer and Firefox is also available for Mozilla at the same URL of Firefox (above).

Large Web Sites

Our local Cynthia Says and WDG Validator are used to evaluate large web sites.  For web sites in excess of 500 pages our HiSoft validation tools are used.

Our local Jaws, Lynx and Web TV viewer's are used when required.

Screen Readers and Software Information

These tools are worth installing if for no other reason than to see "what all the fuss is about" because some of the vendors offer a limited time free installation.

HTML LINK VALIDATOR REPORT: BAD LINKS

All broken links were manually checked and there are no broken links to report in this time period, after corrections.

Footnote: My HTML Link Validator is on the local drive.  By checking links from the local drive, the process is significantly faster.  All broken links are eventually corrected when time permits.
