Web Surveys    
     
  With virtually all businesses and three-quarters of UK households now online, the Internet provides a new super-fast method for gathering a wide range of customer information. Recognising that most businesses have an established web presence, researching website visitor experiences is one obvious way in which web-based surveys can deliver important information for companies and online service providers.

At the heart of our website evaluation approach is the belief that websites can be very influential in terms of enhancing a positive image of a company or providing a surrogate indicator of the likely service delivery. Typical website visitor surveys will cover:
  • Website awareness
  • Frequency of visit
  • Purpose of visit (motivations)
  • Homepage impact
  • Rating content/information
  • Ease of navigation
  • Quality of graphics
  • Visitor profile (demographics)

A wider use for web-based surveys

As well as website evaluation, web-based surveys also offer organisations a unique opportunity to reach a variety of target audiences - customers, employees, members - far more quickly (instantly) and cost-effectively than more conventional research methods. Accord has already conducted web-based surveys that have embraced a range of traditional topics, such as customer satisfaction, employee opinion, employee consultation, corporate branding, etc.

"Thank you for helping the Met Office with its first electronic survey, it was a great success. Accord's unfailing professionalism, confidence in your own experience and sound advice helped deliver these results"
(Dee Cotgrove, Head of Brand and Communications, the Met Office)

Remember, web-based surveys potentially offer organisations the realistic chance to communicate with ALL of their customers, employees or members with e-mail or Internet access. As well as increasingly widespread access to the Internet by the general public, internal intranets are now commonplace in many organisations providing another medium for web surveys. Click onto our visitor survey to see an example of how a web-based survey designed by Accord might look, including the use of multi and single response questions, rating scales and open questions.
