The Badge of Quality
Wear the badge with pride!
A Site Valet badge tells your visitors that you care about them and take them seriously. It promises technical quality and accessibility, and gives visitors the opportunity to offer constructive comments and feedback in an ordered manner. Wear the badge in all your pages!
Markup to display the Badge
The following markup is suitable for webpages. The context for this (e.g placement within a page) is of course your business.
For HTML
<a href="http://valet.webthing.com/qa-report/referer">
<img src="http://valet.webthing.com/qa/qa1.gif" alt="QA Check"
width="100" height="100" longdesc="http://valet.webthing.com/qa/">
</a>For XHTML
<a href="http://valet.webthing.com/qa-report/referer">
<img src="http://valet.webthing.com/qa/qa1.gif" alt="QA Check"
width="100" height="100" longdesc="http://valet.webthing.com/qa/" />
</a>The important items are the link to
http://valet.webthing.com/qa-report/referer, a recognised
Site Valet badge, and the ALT text.
The width, height and longdesc
may be omitted (though not replaced with inappropriate values)!
You may use any approved Site Valet badge in
place of qa1.gif. You may use it directly from our
server (as shown) or copy it to your own server, provided you only
use it in a link as shown above.
Approved Badges
We currently have only qa1.gif and qa2.gif. We may offer more options in future.
If you would prefer a different badge, you may also make your own. However, you must have our approval before using such a badge for the Site Valet QA Programme, so you may want to contact us before putting time and effort into this! The bottom line is that we should be satisfied that the badge conveys the right message.
