Silktide helps you understand and improve your websites.

But what does that actually mean?

Let’s start by looking at how website teams function.

Option one: These folks create content for the website, and the developers maintain it all. As your company grows, so does the amount of content. You can see how the developers could become overwhelmed, because they’re dealing with all the issues of accessibility, usability and even the content itself. So let’s remove the bottleneck.

Option two: Now those content creators have direct access to the website, and you’re thinking… This was a mistake. So the website is going to have problems either way, and until the complaints start rolling in… how would you even know where to begin?

Silktide provides a single source of truth for problems ranging from spelling and grammar mistakes to accessibility issues. Whether you need a bird’s eye view of your entire web estate, or you want to dive into a site and get down to the nitty gritty of a single page’s issues, Silktide has you covered. No matter the size of your website.

Silktide’s inspector shows you exactly where your website’s problems are, whether it’s right out in the open, hidden in the code, or even on mobile, so you can get serious about accessibility.

Every issue comes with information on why it matters to your website visitors, and simple guidance on how to fix it. You can even highlight parts of the page yourself and assign tasks to your teammates. Integrate your CMS with Silktide, and you can fix these issues on the fly.

And don’t forget, we’re talking about improving your content, accessibility, marketing, user experience, and more.

We know there’s a lot to keep track of, but with Silktide, you no longer need to be an expert in everything.
