Website Standards Dashboard

If you think about technology the world is exploding in complexity. Large companies dispose of a great number of web based applications, often historically grown and difficult to standardise. While there are many tools on the market that monitor visits or performance we visualise your entire application landscape by putting the user experience in the center and showing key indicators such as accessibility, mobile friendliness, loading times, SEO as well as code quality.

Manage & Track

WSD is a SaaS solution that visualises all relevant parameters of technical performance and user experience at a glance. It combines the best quality assurance tools currently available on the market and complements these with several dozens of in-house developed tests. The clou is that it automatically tests all websites at regular intervals and displays the results in real time in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. No technical know how is required.

This continuous monitoring allows for quick error analysis and ongoing improvements of the websites and thus a considerable increase in the efficiency of quality assurance. Even after an initial launch.

Working with the best

At the heart of Website Standards is a Drupal 8 installation that aggregates all data and makes it available via an API. Instead of reinventing the wheel we integrate market leading analysis tools and enhances them with tailor made tests. The result is a combined overview of all scores housed in a VueJS SinglePageApp dashboard.
