"Great accessibility and quality control tool!"
I find the accessibility and quality control tools most helpful. They also help my team recognise errors and non-compliances within our website, based on our own requirements, as well as regulatory bodies and WCAG.
"No 1 software in Web Governance!"
It's an idiot-proof software that allows you to ensure your website is working in pristine condition e.g. misspellings, detection of bad links, broken pictures and even multiple H1 on pages that affect your SEO performances.
