Website standards and accessibility

We know about professional web standards and accessibility guidelines as part of our quality assurance. We are registered members of  UKWDA who lobby for better designed web sites to the W3C guidelines.

Why bother

You only have a few seconds to impress your visitors, so slow or broken web sites will turn them away for sure!

We build our sites using advanced coding practices such as xHTML and CSS and implement checks for readability, usability and accessibility. WHY? Because your site will be faster to download, work in more browsers and on more PCs (Apple Macs included) and be seen by more people than a site not coded to these standards.

A website designed to meet W3C web standards and accessibility guidelines will display correctly accross multiple web browsers ensuring the widest possible audiance can view your site.  This proper coding will also ensure search engines can read your website properly for higher rankings in the search results.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

The W3C are the guardians of web standards that ensure web designers and developers have a coherent direction & blueprint for professional web design. They provide validation tools and conformance badges to show a web site has passed their web standards.
