Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s how we help
Video Transcript
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.

By getting scores at the outset, your team is motivated to improve, and you can measure that improvement over time.
Set targets and due dates, and compare your progress to others in your industry.
Prioritize what’s important
Split your website any way you like. Team members can see the parts they care about most.
Nobody gets bogged down in irrelevant work, while your management team can report on everybody’s progress over time.
Issues are automatically listed in order of severity so you’ll always know where to focus your efforts.
Gain full visibility
A major challenge for web managers is not being able to see the status of their entire web estate.
With Silktide, you’ll be able to understand where the issues are and get a birds-eye view of your websites because everything is laid out clearly.
Every team member can report on and take responsibility for the parts of the website they care about.
Fix problems 10x faster
Don’t waste time hunting for errors. See exactly where they are on your page and learn how to fix them.
Understand where users experience problems on desktop, tablet, and mobile views, and see the issues highlighted in code.
Understand everything
Nobody can be expected to understand all the complexities of web accessibility or web development.
For every issue we find, get amazing educational content. Break down complex problems into manageable, easy-to-understand chunks, with video guides, code examples, and clear explanations.
Our customers find it so easy to understand that we regularly win awards from G2 for Best Usability.
Improve your workflow
No more spreadsheets and screenshots to keep track of who’s working on what.
Create tasks from issues and assign them to a colleague. It’s as simple as clicking, commenting, and assigning. And everything is in one place for better visibility.
Prevent inconsistent content
Brand and style guides are usually complex and hard for your content team to remember.
Create custom checks, find inconsistencies, and speed up your QA workflow with Silktide.
Test behind logins
If you’re only testing the public-facing parts of your website, you could be missing half your content.
You might not realize it, but authenticated areas of your website are also covered by most accessibility laws because they form part of your website.
Silktide can test behind a login, for areas like customer portals, student areas, or Intranets.
Test before publishing
Ensure your content is perfect before you publish it.
With Silktide’s browser extension, you’ll check for issues in draft pages and find and fix them before they go live.
Test complex multi-step user flows
Your website includes complex forms to handle customer registrations, sales inquiries, checkouts, and banking applications. If they stop working, how significant would the impact be on your bottom line?
If you’re not testing these forms continuously and comprehensively, then you’re leaving yourself open to accessibility lawsuits, harm to your brand, and lost revenue.
Silktide uniquely checks every step of your forms and alerts you of any problems.
Understand user behavior
Silktide includes comprehensive web analytics your whole team will love. It’s simple to use and available to everyone.
Get a clear understanding of the impact of errors with heatmaps. See how many users find problems and experience frustration.
Measure the ROI of your campaigns, optimize the user experience, and accelerate your QA.
