To safeguard the vital components of your website, we conduct rigorous quality checks at Best4u. We do this both upon delivery of the test version and when the website goes live. This ensures that everything is up to standard in terms of technology, usability, and Google. proofness The timing of your website launch is right, and you can get off to a flying start online!
Multiple facets play a role in the design and development of a new website. Naturally, the specific wishes and requirements vary per website and per client, but fundamentally, there are always four aspects that – in our opinion – must be in perfect order for every website. Namely:
- responsiveness
- Speed (Google PageSpeed)
- Developed according to W3C standards
- Usability
These are therefore the four components that are extensively covered in our rigorous quality checks. We would be happy to explain why these four components play a leading role and what we focus on within these facets. Do you have any questions about this? You can always ask them via support@best4u.nl.
responsiveness
A responsive website; what is that again? We’ll briefly explain it to you: a responsive website scales with the screen on which the website is viewed. The website therefore adapts to the size of the screen, whether it is a mobile phone, a tablet, or a laptop. This ensures that important parts of your website, such as the content and buttons, remain perfectly readable for your visitors at all times. black in this day and age, given the fact that fewer and fewer people use their desktops to browse the internet and mobile internet is increasingly predominant.
During the quality checks performed by our testers, the responsiveness of the website is checked at multiple points. This means that the website is tested on various sizes, screens, browsers, and (phone) brands. After all, an Apple iPhone is a different device than an Android phone. Therefore, it is not sufficient to simply check whether the website is built responsively; this matter must be examined in greater depth, and responsiveness is consequently checked at multiple points.
To optimally guarantee the responsiveness of your website, we check this twice: both upon delivery of the test version and when your website goes live.
Speed (Google PageSpeed)
When you have a website developed by us, we promise that your website will have a Google PageSpeed score of 80 or higher upon delivery. We believe it is very important that the websites we develop are optimally configured for Google. After all, a beautiful, well-functioning website is step one; the next step – being found – is naturally at least as important for achieving real goals with your new website. A good Google PageSpeed score makes a significant contribution to this.
Until recently, the speed of your (mobile) website was not a concrete ranking factor for Google, but that has changed in the last few months. This means that Google specifically looks at the speed of your website and takes the results into account when determining your position in the search results. In our article You can read more about this from a while ago here.
The same applies to your website's PageSpeed: we check this twice to ensure optimal speed, both upon delivery of the test version and at the go-live.
Development according to W3C standards
At Best4u, we develop all our websites according to W3C standards (this is one of our brand promises). These are guidelines established by the World Wide Web Consortium, an organization that develops standards for programming languages. The W3C's goal with these standards is to ensure that the capabilities of the internet are fully utilized and that all these capabilities are available to all computer systems and users.
Some benefits of developing according to W3C standards are that websites are easier to find, have faster loading times, and display consistently in every browser. We believe it is important that all our websites meet W3C standards, and therefore we ensure that this is indeed the case before we deliver your website to you and before it goes live. In this way, we can offer you as the owner of your website, as well as the end users – your potential customers – optimal benefits in terms of user-friendliness. In an earlier article We have described in more detail what the W3C is and why we consider these standards important.
Usability
The most important question when it comes to a website's usability is: is everything logically put together? Our testers look at your website and all its associated aspects with a trained eye and, as it were, take the visitor's seat. Are all the links correct, is the way you navigate through the website logical, and are there any bugs (small errors) that the developers might have overlooked?
In addition, the graphic designer who created the design for your website always checks whether everything is correct from a design perspective. This, along with the usability test, is always done before you receive the test version of your website.
