IAD: Web Application tools

I looked at website I have recently made and used the evaluation tools below to look at what errors occur here are my findings:

http://wave.webaim.org/report?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.andbuilders.co.uk
When I enterred andbuilders site into the wave accessibility tool it came up with a few errors, mainly that there is javascript and flash present and this could be unaccessable to certain users.

I also looked at what the website looks like in different types of browsers by using browershots.org which takes screenshots of your website in many different browsers you can quickly see the differences, if any in different browsers.

IP look ups, for this section I looked at dnsstuff.com and entered ANDbuilders.co.uk again and it came up with all the domain details including when it was registered, when it is up for renewal the name it is registered under and the address, this could be really helpful for someone that wanted a particular domain and wanted to know when it was up for renewal again or to contact the current owner.

Link Valet : A very useful site that looks at the website and all the listed links on a website, which it then checks to make sure they are active and not a broken link.

The above website requires you to enter the domain and then returns how fast it takes to downloads pages, images, links etc. This is very helpful as a webdesigner as it helps to understand why some pages may not be viewed as much if there are aspects that are taking too long to download.



I enjoyed looking at the different evaluation techniques and will definately continue to use a few of these when developing future websites.
