Testimonials from real DeepTrawl customers

"We needed some software to automate the checking of our website prior to its launch and having read reviews decided to purchase DeepTrawl. We found it saved us a great deal of time during our testing procedure, highlighting errors and allowing speedy page editing and would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep there site(s) correct."

- Michael J Boyle (UK)

"We have been using DeepTrawl for some time now as a tool to help us manage our business website and we are delighted with the program!

After trialling several software programs that purported to help with checking various aspects of a site - html code, links etc - we decided on DeepTrawl, as it was the most efficient and user-friendly program we found. That opinion has definitely not changed! Both easy to use and very comprehensive, DeepTrawl has saved many, many hours that would otherwise have been spent manually checking the site.

We are a small business rather than a large company, and our site currently runs to no more than 100 pages in total - but even for that number, DeepTrawl is an amazing time saver. I can only imagine the time and resource savings it would provide for a company with a huge site, or someone responsible for managing several websites! In our case, DeepTrawl is now one of the 'must have' programs we need for our business. In short, a brilliant piece of software - thank you!"

- Sue James (BJ Seminars International - Australia)

"What's *not* to like about DeepTrawl? I manage five (soon to be six) websites for my courses, and every year I need to make sure that all the links are working, with no pages missing. I looked around for an application that would do that for me inexpensively (since I would only use it infrequently) and chanced upon DeepTrawl.

So far I've used DeepTrawl on only one of my sites (the largest and most complete), and was very impressed with its speed and thoroughness. It has so many features that I had to turn off a number of them in order not to be swamped with information. I can't imagine what you would want to know about your site that DeepTrawl doesn't tell you. I'll be using it more and more as the academic year unfolds, since I have one more course site to build."

- Richard Day (Canada)

"My company chose to use DeepTrawl so that we can better serve our clients. By using DeepTrawl we are able to improve the service we provide and the quality of our clients web sites. DeepTrawl is an awesome product that has allowed us to schedule monitoring for our clients sites. Before the client or their customers find an error DeepTrawl will, anything from broken links or broken images to words that are spelled wrong. By using DeepTrawl we are proactively helping our customer maintain high quality in their sites."

- Austin Coulson (Riverside California, USA)

Excerpts from PCWorld.com review

"DeepTrawl is astoundingly simple to use. Type in the URL of the site you wish to trawl, and click the big green arrow."

"Simple, fast, and thorough, DeepTrawl is a powerful tool if you have a large (>25 pages or so) Web site which is often updated or which contains many external links."

Review by Michael E. Callahan (aka Dr. File Finder)

In the course of creating, updating, and maintaining a Web site, you can accidentally create errors. My original Web site has been up for nearly thirteen years and over that time it's changed a lot. Things have been added, things have been removed. I knew there had to be broken links, but I couldn't imagine trying to go through those pages and find them. Then, I found DeepTrawl and the problem was solved!

DeepTrawl is a cool program that scans your Web pages and finds every error and dead link. I was really impressed with how fast and accurate it was. I was also shocked by the amount of stuff it found on my sites. DeepTrawl found some spelling errors, some missing graphics, broken links, and more. What's really cool is that the program has a built-in HTML editor so it can show you the problems and then let you fix them.

The screenshot shows a scan of one of my sites and DeepTrawl found 105 potential problems and miscellaneous errors. I love the fact that it doesn't just find the problems, but also makes it easy to fix them. Just the ability to go through and check the spelling of an entire Web site is a huge benefit. DeepTrawl can work with your Web sites either online or offline. It also doesn't matter how large your Web site is, because DeepTrawl can handle any number of pages. Another real benefit of the program is that it insures that your HTML coding meets the established standard and that means your site will be compatible with a variety of Web browsers. Another cool feature is the ability to schedule scans and have the program send you an email detailing any errors. Slick.

DeepTrawl comes built-in with a variety of "checks" and these cover things like validating images, checking for pages that haven't been modified recently, validating all your hyperlinks, and many more. You can toggle these off and on so you can customize the way the program scans your site. Before your scan starts you can also determine what part of the site it's going to examine. For example, the start page only, all pages within the domain, the start page directory, and more. On top of all this, however, you can also define your own checks. I did this on my sites to make sure I'd updated my address, email, and phone number from the ones I used while I was in Colorado. A very handy feature.

Whether your Web pages are for your family or your business, they are a reflection upon you! The absolute easiest way to make your Web pages error free and first-rate is to use DeepTrawl to find any and all errors. I like this product so much that it's not only one of my Picks, but I'm also making it a Dr. File Finder Favorite and in 25 years of evaluating software there haven't been very many of those. The program is intuitive and very easy-to-use, perfect for all users. So, if you want to "clean up your act" this is the program you need. Give it a try, I recommend it highly.
