Best Practice IR Website Audits
Issuers who excel in investor web communications frequently provide their audiences with new information in a variety of formats and online channels. They follow best practices and layer content to effectively 'present' their investment proposition - rather than using the website as a filing cabinet. They make it easier for audiences to find them, to follow them and to access and receive information.
Q4 can help your company achieve a website that exemplifies IR best practices through a comprehensive website audit.
This best practice audit will compare your IR website against your industry peers and covers areas such as:
- Content – required and expected information
- Navigation – location/priority of content on the page & within the navigation
- Presentation of content - recommended formats and visual enhancements
- Relational links recommendations - specific examples to help you bring relevant content forward in key areas of the site
- Functionality – what tools are expected and how/where should these be accessed
- Usability & user engagement
Best Practice Implementation Investor audiences have come to expect certain standards in IR websites. Q4 has conducted extensive research over the past several years to arrive at a comprehensive set of IR website best practices, which have been built into our product. More recently we have expanded this best practice approach to include our website audit and entire implementation process as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.
