Metrics Part 1: Measuring the quality of web sites

September 15, 2006 By barrie@compassdesigns.net Leave a Comment

Its part marketing exercise for Silktide (though they score pretty low for themselves), and perhaps not a very valid tool, but it is a great way to encourage designers to improve their code to meet standards and become more accessible. After I made my original blog post, a few designers had emailed me telling me that they had started using Silktide on their Joomla sites. I thought I would take a fresh look and see who was starting to appear in the list. It is great to see that there are seven www.silktide.com/tools/sitescore/top-sitescores.

1 www.cssplay.co.uk 9.8  
2 www.rockettheme.com 9.8 www.compassdesigns.net 9.6 www.joomlashack.com 9.6 www.55thinking.com 9.3 www.joomla.org 9.1 www.deanmarshall.co.uk 9.0 www.broxden.co.uk 9.0 www.netscape.com 8.8  

Try your own site out, then see if you can raise your score by improving the page’s accessibility.

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
