Web Standards

We think so, standards are important in every other field why shouldnt they be in IT. The problem is that some of the browser manufacturers implement their own standards (usually small variations on the real standards) then developers implement those slightly modified standards, often to add browser specific functionality, breaking the browsers that dont use these (non-standard) standards. That is why you find websites with "this site must be viewed with internet explorer 5 or better at a resolution of 1024x768..." Why anyone would want to activley block people from visiting their site?

Standards let you produce code that will render similarily (not exactly the same) in all browsers, and give you a good basic framework of functions and god practice to work with. If you try to adhere to these standards as we do you wont go far wrong.

We will code your new website to published web standards and will demonstrate that compliance to you. In this way you should have no problems with search engines indexing your site correctly and your site being listed and visible on them, additionally this will ensure that your site will work in most types and versions of web browsers. Furthermore your sites code will be readable and understandable by other competent web developers, so if you want to switch away from us you can. Having a standards colpiant site will ensure that you are not excluding visitors, and quite possibly that you will reachthose customers your competitors cannot disabled users are often locked out of the many non standard or proprietory web sites.

This site has not been optimised for any particuar browser and attention was paid to meeting and maintaining w3c standards whenever possible. because of this our site is viewable in all browsers. We use Mozilla's firefox browser in house so all our initial prrof of concept and design work was aimed at the mozilla browser, when it came to testing with multiple browsers and then validation we found that Internet Explorer was the only browser to render items significantly differently (as compared to Netscape Navigetor, Opera, Konqueror and Epiphany) and that most of those differences were no longer obvious once w3c standards were 100% adhered to.
