The owners of thesesites either don't have the time or skill to fix them, orthey don‘t understand why their site is not working. Theyare losing money, and they don't know what to do. Ah - anopportunity!You can be a Web Site Reviewer. Contact the owner of apoorly designed Web site, and offer to analyze it andprovide a detailed report of problems and suggestedimprovements. This will improve the effectiveness andincrease the revenue from the Web site.The fees charged for this service range from free, to over$10,000 depending upon the size of the Web site. You couldreview a Web site for free, if you also just happen toprovide the services required to fix the reported problems,and you expected to profit from that.You could form partnerships with Web designers andprogrammers, and let them handle some parts of the job.They could implement solutions, or they could even assistin the initial review. Use a checklist to review a Web site. For each item in thechecklist write your findings in a report. Report the goodfeatures of the site as well as the bad. State the problemsyou find in a factual, non-critical manner. Below is anexample checklist.[] The site's objectives[] Target audience[] Branding features[] Navigation[] Bad links[] Load time[] Browser compatibility[] "Above the fold" interest[] Readability - color clash, font, layout[] Poorly written copy[] Typos and misspelled words[] Forms don't work[] Trust features.[] Provisions to accept feedback[] Reason for repeat visitsOne warning note: Don't make a free review offer to acontractor that designed the site. First, you will beinsulting their work, and second, they will fix theproblems themselves, and charge the owner. Try to contactthe owner of the Web site, not someone who had been hiredto design it.Remember, a large part of your work will be marketing.Contact the owners of web sites to inform them of thebenefits they will receive as a result of your analysis.The more of an emotional slant you can put on the benefits,the better. Don't expect them to buy on the first contact.Here are a few examples of people/companies profiting byreviewing Web sites:http://www.mysitestinks.comhttp://eons.com/_Web_Site_Review.asphttp://internetsuccesscoach.com/webfix.html----------------------------------------------------------Resource Box:Copyright(C)2002 Bucaro TecHelp.
