BikeBiz.com - WebDepend assisted with launch planTitle - BikeBiz.com Testing
Launch - November 2010
Client - McCormack & Morrison

McCormack & Morrison are a London digital agency working with Intent Media, the publishers of BikeBiz.com, a business publication covering the UK and international cycling industry

WebDepend assisted McCormack & Morrison's head of production, Zoe James, and lead developer, Leigh Makewell in producing a comprehensive launch plan for the new website. This launch plan needed to take into account many aspects in order to fully prepare for the site going live, including actions that needed to be carried out and checks to be performed to ensure that everything worked correctly and the transfer from old site to new site was seamless.

Peter McCormack, Partner at McCormack & Morrison said:

Many thanks for assisting us to produce a launch plan for the recent BikeBiz.com website launch. The preparation and comprehensive checklist provided helped us enormously in ensuring a smooth and seamless go live. This launch checklist will also prove invaluable for further web projects produced by McCormack & Morrison. We look forward to working with WebDepend again soon.

Due to BikeBiz.com being developed with a brand new content management system and forum software, significant planning was required in order to transfer thousands of articles to the new site going back to 1999, ensure all subscriber accounts were transferred over and that thousands of existing URLs would redirect visitors to the new format URLs.

As you can see, the launch went very well and the new BikeBiz.com website looks great.

Funny T-Shirt designs from it is what it isTitle - It Is What It Is Website Audit
Launch - October 2010
Client - it is what it is Ltd.

it is what it is produce top quality funny t-shirt designs and wanted a website audit carrying out on their re-designed website ahead of their busy season in the weeks before Christmas.

As part of the audit, spanning Functionality, Browser Compatibility, Usability, Performance, Standards Compliance and SEO Readiness, we loaded all the issues we found onto our bug tracking system and gave Richard an account to login and view all the prioritised bug reports including screenshots and URLs.

Once the audit was finished, a quick call to run through each item ensured that Richard, the owner of it is what it is, understood everything in order to get them dealt with.

This is what Richard had to say:

Thanks for all the sterling work you did. We found you on Google and so took the free test you offer to see what gives as we didn’t know you from Adam... and I must admit that I was impressed by what you uncovered, so we had your site audit done and it was very comprehensive indeed (more than I thought it would be) and it certainly helped us to sort out our re-designed site. Quick with replies back from you too which was nice. I’d use you again and I almost certainly will.

Thanks for the kind words Richard.
