Design Approach

Your pages will be generated using clean html/css code. We do not use WYSIWYG html editors or page templates, although if you find a design you like we can create something similar.

Code Validation

We validate coded pages using the official W3C html markup validation service (see the Home page). This means that browsers won't have to guess what's intended (debug it) whilst downloading. So validated pages should load faster and display better! We validate both the XHTML code and the cascaded style sheet (CSS).

Data/Content Management System (CMS)

You have the option of having a custom-built CMS. This could allow you to manage clients, add or delete products, change product descriptions, change prices, upload site images, monitor sales, arrange product delivery etc. CMS access is usually via an encrypted password.

Type of Server (Host)

Basic sites or small business sites usually use a shared host. This means the host shares computing facilities with other websites and costs are minimised. But if the site requires the transfer of large amounts of data, or there are site access bottlenecks then it will probably be necessary to use a virtual private server (VPS), or even a dedicated server. This requires server administration (not to be confused with Website Administration).

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

We optimize the content and code of your primary pages in order to increase their ranking with search engines. Given your key search phrases, we can usually put you on the first or second pages of Google. Your new site will be submitted to Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and Moreover.

Security

Any pages involving the transmission of sensitive information will use secure socket layer (SSL) technology (the browser shows https rather http). Data is encrypted before it is sent in either direction. We will purchase an SSL certificate for the site and display it's logo to inform customers.
