Web Site Auditors (Surfers) Needed for a Global Shipping Company Regional Site Audit

We are conducting an audit of the company’s regional web sites (all in English). The audit will involve reviewing web pages to confirm that design and layout elements are consistent with the company’s style guide. You will surf pages looking for elements that are out of compliance or that appear to deviate from page to page.

You need to be:

1. detail oriented
2. efficient
3. familiar with web sites, in general
4. available to work beginning April 13 (kick-off meeting) through May 16.
5. available to work at least 15 hours per week (you decide which hours you work)
