7 February 2006 BlueRiverStone Survey "What's Hot & What's Not" Available.
BlueRiverStone (BRS), a consulting and analysis firm operating out of the Johannesburg, South Africa, area conducts an annual evaluation of the top 100 listed corporate websites in South Africa. This survey is done in cooperation with South Africa's widely respected Financial Mail (FM).

A component of the evaluation involves assessing the technical quality of the websites. Technical quality underpins the quality of service experience. Ideally, the website technology used should be transparent and not "obscure" the experience of the website with either irrelevant displays of technical prowess or errors and failures.

In line with developing a user-centric evaluation BRS has applied eValid's site analysis feature to these 100 corporate websites to develop comparative "technical quality of experience" estimates. The eValid scans deliver a number of website specific metrics such as page size, broken links, site structure etc. The metrics chosen all of which relate to the overall performance of the website and its quality. Here is the complete Who's Hot, Who's Not article.
