Quality Control

We maintain two separate Quality Control (QC) tracks: one for Website & Digital Products and another for Media Production (shooting/editing). Each track uses tailored checklists to match the unique standards of the deliverable.

Website & Digital Product QC Requirements

1. Design and Visual Quality
   • Consistency: Ensure uniformity in fonts, colors, and design elements across all pages.
   • Responsive Design: Test across multiple devices (desktops, tablets, and smartphones) to confirm the layout and functionality adapt smoothly to various screen sizes.
   • Color Profile: Use optimized, high-resolution images that load quickly without sacrificing visual clarity.
   • User Interface (UI) Standards: Ensure the interface is intuitive and consistent, with clear navigation paths and visible call-to-action (CTA) elements.
   • Brand Alignment: Confirm that the design aligns with the brand’s visual identity, using approved colors, logos, and styling elements.
2. Functionality and Usability

   • Navigation: Confirm smooth, logical, and user-friendly navigation across all pages, with a clear menu structure.
   • Compatibility: Test across popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure consistent performance and appearance.
   • Interactive Elements: Validate the functionality of all interactive elements, including buttons, sliders, drop-downs, and carousels, ensuring they respond accurately.
3. Performance and Load Speed
   • Page Load Time: Optimize images, scripts, and resources to meet a maximum load time of 3 seconds on standard connections.
   • Code Optimization: Minimize CSS, HTML, and JavaScript files to reduce load times without compromising functionality.
   • Caching: Implement browser caching and CDN integration where applicable to enhance performance.
   • Mobile Optimization: Test load times and responsiveness on mobile networks (3G, 4G, 5G) to ensure acceptable performance on all devices.
4. Accessibility Standards
   • WCAG Compliance: Adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 for an inclusive design, including proper alt text for images, descriptive link text, and keyboard navigation support.
   • Color Contrast: Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors for readability, meeting accessibility standards.
   • Screen Reader Compatibility: Confirm the website is compatible with screen readers, providing accurate labeling and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) tags for improved usability.

   • Keyword Optimization: Integrate targeted keywords naturally within page content without compromising readability.
   • Image SEO: Optimize all images with descriptive alt text and compress them to improve page speed.
   • Sitemap & Robots.txt: Ensure the website includes a current XML sitemap and robots.txt file for search engine indexing.
7. Testing and Review Process

   • Multi-Device Testing: Test the website on various devices and screen resolutions for consistency in appearance and functionality.
   • User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Conduct UAT with a sample user group to gather feedback and confirm usability.
   • Quality Checklist: Complete a comprehensive quality checklist to verify that all elements meet the QC requirements.
   • Third-Party Audits: Perform third-party audits as needed for accessibility, security, and SEO compliance.

Media Production QC Requirements (Shooting & Editing)

1. Video Quality and Resolution
   • Resolution: Capture in at least 4K (UHD) resolution, maintaining a 16:9 aspect ratio or platform-specified ratios.
   • Frame Rate: Utilize a consistent cinematic frame rate (24 fps preferred), with no fluctuations across scenes.
   • Color Profile: Use a standard color profile, such as Rec.709 or Rec.2020 for HDR. Apply color grading and correction for uniform visual quality across the entire project.
   • Lighting and Exposure: Ensure all scenes are well-lit without overexposure or underexposure, except for intentional artistic choices. Maintain a high dynamic range, avoiding crushed blacks and blown-out highlights.
   • Stabilization: Stabilize footage with equipment unless intentional handheld shakiness is desired for effect.
2. Audio Quality and Clarity
