Web Development & Design Added: Friday 5th August, 2011 | Last Modified: Tuesday 31st January, 2012
We subscribe to an ethical approach in building web sites and do not engage in developing solutions that are unstable, malicious, or use techniques that could get your site blacklisted.
Focusing the web site build on the wants and needs of your visitors is central to achieving success (or failure).
Adhering to global industry standards and guidelines, developing to modern technical standards and encompassing usability and accessibility techniques, ensures your web site is available to the widest audience, including older software, search engines and text readers.
Our current sites are built using XHTML 1.0 Strict with CSS 2.0 and closely follow the recommendations of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We are moving to HTML5 and CSS3 for our newer projects so that your site will be future proofed while still adhering to the recommended industry standards.
Sites are optimised for DOM enabled browsers covering IE 6-9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. The code will be produced in a backwards compatible manner, with various styling and structure removed as you step down the browser versions, with a text only site being rendered by much older browsers and screen-readers.
Plug-ins and client-side scripting such as Flash and JavaScript will be used for development when appropriate to the client brief. When delivering content using such technologies, alternatives will be produced in compliance with current standards and legislation.
All sites are tested on both PC, MAC and Linux platforms.
Our Ethos
Our primary goal is to deliver solutions that will work for your business. We will talk to you about identifying business goals and objectives and then discuss how the web or other digital media can be used to best facilitate these goals.
We provide solutions which really work for our clients; we believe we can bring real benefits to businesses across a wide range of industry sectors. We do this by gaining an understanding of how your business works and how best our services can fit into that model. We build relationships as well as websites.
We believe the truly best solutions are born out of building sound relationships. Listening to and educating each other will form an important part of any project.
In doing this we will find methods and solutions that best fit with your requirements, personality and budget. We are not tied to any one technology or scripting model and as such can recommend and develop solutions which best suit.
