How to achieve a World Class Level Web Site

The Scsi P&KT Web site is believed to be the first -- and currently the only -- Web site that supports a "World Class Level" set of Scsi's Best Practices for Web Accessibility and Web Usability that are collectively referred to here as Scsi's "Perfect 10" Web Site Standard.


Orientation to Scsi's ten Best Practices as exemplified throughout Scsi's P&KT Web Site

Scsi believes that it is critically important for you to read, apply, and appreciate the concepts presented here. So, besides what is stated on this introductory Web page, supporting details are described and detailed in three parts:

  • Part 1: Why is User-focused Control of Paramount Importance to Scsi?
  • Part 2: What to look for -- and expect -- in any World Class Web Site's Underlying Design? Answer: A "Perfect 10" Scsi's Best Practices score of 10x10=100 for each and every Web page.
  • Part 3: What is Scsi's "Perfect 10" Challenge? Answer: How well (or how poorly) do any other Web site's pages measure up against Scsi's World Class Level Quality Standard?

Recommendations for where to begin

  • If this is your first visit to this Web site, Scsi recommends that you read Part 1, then Part 2, and finally Part 3 in that order. This will lay the overall groundwork for a more complete understanding and appreciation of what you are about to experience. Scsi is confident that you will find this three-part tour to be a revelation of the stated uniqueness of the Scsi P&KT Web site's underlying design -- see Web Site Productivity -- By Design for more information -- for 100% accessibility.
  • If you already learned what is covered in Part 1 and want to really find out what each of the ten Best Practices are, go right to Part 2.
  • If you've been here before and have digested Parts 1 and 2, you will most likely be returning to Part 3 to proceed with actually testing for the presence or absence of each of Scsi's "Perfect 10" Web Standard Best Practices on any other Web site's pages using Scsi's Test Criteria Evaluation Worksheet (STCEW) Tool.
  • In any case, you'll find Scsi's STCEW Tool will readily assist you to quantitatively evaluate any chosen Web site's pages degree of conformance. More than likely, you'll find that surprisingly low Best Practices scores will result. Don't be discouraged if that is what is revealed to be the existing situation. Instead, consider this finding to be a clear indicator that there is much room for improvement needed in terms of addressing Web usability and Web accessibility issues for the Web site page you've just put to this simple, easy-to-perform evaluation test.
  • Finally, no matter what choice you make for proceeding with this activity, you now have one extremely valuable Tool available either on-line or downloadable for your use at any time you so choose to make use of it.

In a Hurry? Make use of Scsi's Test Criteria Evaluation Worksheet (STCEW) Tool for assessing any Web Page's Degree of Conformance to Scsi's top ten Best Practices.

Keep in mind that Scsi is always seeking to help you increase both your personal and corporate productivity -- through learning-by-doing exercises while visiting the Scsi P&KT Web site.

To quickly find out what seamlessly integrated and clearly demonstrable benefits are claimed for each and every Web page, take a moment now to either view or download Scsi's Test Criteria Evaluation Worksheet (STCEW) Tool -- especially by using Scsi's convenient one-pager worksheet file View a PDF file of the STCEW Tool document. -- to quantitatively score any page -- on any Web site -- you so choose to evaluate. At that point, you should draw your own conclusions as to their degree of conformance to Scsi's set of World Class Level Web Site Best Practices.

With the STCEW Tool either displayed or printed out and in front of you, do the following:

  1. Access a Web site page to examine for assessment for each of Scsi's ten Best Practices.
  2. For each of the ten Best Practices listed, enter either a Y (for Yes) or an N (for No) as answers -- based on what you have learned should occur with the Scsi P&KT Web Site as your model reference.
  3. Tally up the number of "Yes" entries and multiply that number by 10 to get the Best Practices score for that particular Web page.
  4. Refer to the legend for scoring and enter the resulting number on the Worksheet box reserved for that entry.
  5. Assess the grade for that Web page based on the cumulative score, namely: Perfect (100), Excellent (90), Good (70 or 80), Fair (50 or 60), Poor (30 or 40), Abysmal (10 or 20), and Total Failure (a zero).
  6. Repeat the prior steps for any other Web page(s) that you want to quantitatively assess.

That's how really easy it should be for you perform this evaluation process.
