HTML CHECKERS
HTML coding is the backbone of each web site page. It tells your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Web TV, etc.) how to display each page. HTML is a universal internet language accepted by all browsers and major web design organizations as the "industry standard" for site design. It is possible to check your coding after you are done designing a page to ensure you have dotted all of your i's and crossed all of your t's so to speak. This can be critical to the proper display of your web site so it is definitely worth the investment in time and resources to do so. This is important to do. It is suggested that you do this at site launch and then run a check semi-annually. The following links are to places throughout the internet that offer automated HTML testing services. Most of these are free by the way!

ProofreadingAfter all of that is there more? Yes, how about an entire proof read of your site from a make believe customer/outsider? This hands-on insight/testing can be very useful. Read this article about a company that was losing most of its customers because of a simple form mechanical error found during mock customer testing. How Are Customers Using Your Site? SUGGESTED USAGE: Nice thing to do for every new site launch and major site revision if you can afford to do this. Otherwise get friends, family, or employees, to do it for your web site. Or, if really desparate, do it yourself after taking a break from it.
