Description
A corporate Web site provides Internet audiences with a constant window into the company. It is important that this window represent the company accurately and effectively. If the site is constructed poorly with difficult navigation and inadequate resources, it reflects negatively on the company and diminishes credibility. To safeguard our clients' Web investments, The Hoffman Agency has developed a Web Audit service that focuses on our core competencies - public relations and marketing communications.

The Web Audit analyzes key features within a corporate site, such as layout, functionality and content. This analysis is then compared to industry standards and best practices displayed throughout the Internet. A prime example is the corporate pressroom. Do press and analyst audiences have to search for current or archived press releases? Once found, are supporting collateral materials easily accessible? Are journalists provided with enough information to write a complete story? Elements such as these can mean the difference between a positive or negative impression, which can ultimately have a dramatic effect on press coverage.
