Re: SilkTide - Let this web app rate your website!
You don't *need* to have an index page, it's just a 'standard' way of entering a site and making it easier for people to get there when typing a URL!.

Marketing: 7.6 Design: 8.1 Accessibility: 7.8 Experience: 8.3 Overall: 7.4 Aside from any 'technical' errors, it's subjective bollax. It doesn't appear to pick up on php or asp linked to scripts which is *very* odd. It told me that I don't have *any* intereactivity on my site when in fact visitors can post comments on news… -

Dukester - some hosts or web url providers have a system where your site is hosted inside a frame. The main frame is the url, and the contents of the frame is your site. That would explain both problems. -
Re: SilkTide - Let this web app rate your website!
It is kind of odd. Even though I have not updated/reorganized my site to show more recent work and have a better layout, since I had cerain keywords and links on my site, they went for it like maddogs.

[ QUOTE ] news.bbc.co.uk: 9.5 (still got hit by the disabled part though) [/ QUOTE ] LOL, that is great. If that was a California law and it was a US news based site there would already be a lawsuit. -

Basically try using your site in Lynx/w3m, if that works it's "accessible". The only online check you should really worry about is the W3C HTML validator.
