1- Website Review Summary:  GrundyTel.com

As there are two domains active, I suppose the most recent would be the replacement of the older one, both are active without any redirect. The newer site GTIamerica.com was registered in January 2018 and it is not https secured. As well the newer site has not changed since 2018. The site under analysis is GrundyTel.com registered in May 2007. The site was built around the Wix website builder.  It is secured with https encryption. The homepage does not have a favicon, the homepage social media accounts link to inactive Twitter and Facebook accounts since 2017. The company’s Linkedin page was claimed but is not active. The site is not cross platform compatible and although it is mobile ready, graphic design issues are seen on the mobile version of the site.

It appears the site GTIamerica.com would be the replacement of GrundyTel.com or just the USA version of the site with its address in Florida. Being a WordPress based site, and although made in 2018 it does follow more recent guidelines. It would be recommended to have the site secured with https ssl encryption. As well update the footer’s menu links as pages are not configured correctly. Lastly the contact email uses the previous’ site domain name. ‘Company’ in the header’s menu goes to the ‘About us’ page.
