Web Design Overview
As web publishing software becomes more popular and easier to use, anybody can call themselves a web site designer... But unfortunately that type of "web design" doesn't stand up in today's competitive marketplace.
You need a professional web design team who understands the key ingredients to a successful website:
- Your goals for the project (long and short term)
- Straight-forward web development process
- Intuitive and appealing design
- User-friendly / accessible content
- Web presence through search engine visibility
Our sites are built from scratch, and designed to deliver sharp looking, fast loading pages, with no browser inconsistencies. This is all made possible by using a web standards based architecture...
Web Standards in Our Work
Web Standards are the guidelines recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that web designers and browser manufacturers implement the same technology as the web continues to evolve.
Huh? In English please? This means that we design your web site the right way — ONE time.
Your site will function the same in all browsers, on all platforms, and on all devices. Most importantly, your site will continue to behave the same today, as well as the future when new technologies emerge.
Building with standards also lowers costs: for initial development and future maintenance.
Some of the many benefits of designing to web standards include:
- Reduced design and development costs
- Shorter timeframes and smaller price for updates or re-designs
- Faster page load times
- No browser incompatibilities
- Making your content more visible to search engines
- Support for handheld devices - screen readers, PDAs, and mobile phones
- Increased accessibility for the disabled
So if you want a web site that loads faster, reaches as many users as possible, and costs less to develop and maintain, then you came to the right place....
