Web Standards and how they benefit You...

Benefits to your business

Web Standards are guidelines set out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and are internationally agreed on as best technical practices by web developers.

Lower bandwidth costs and faster page downloading:

Semantic and Structured HTML results in your web pages being significantly smaller in file size. This means quicker loading times and less bandwidth usage(lower hosting costs). No matter what the content, we make sure your site loads quickly and gracefully as we all know that first impressions count!

Future Proof:

Because the structure(HTML) is seperated from the styling(CSS), your website is much quicker and easier to update for future programmers, editors and designers.

Search Engine Optimisation:

Users looking for specific services regularly employ search engines to find what they're looking for. Semantic and structured HTML & CSS makes it easier for search engines to find and catalogue your websites key content. This means improved search engine ranking's and therefore a highly visible web presence for your business.

Accessibility - reach your widest possible audience:

Not everyone uses a common browser - disabled and elderly visitors may employ the use of screen readers and other devices to intepret your content. Valid and structured code ensure that your site does not exclude these users.

Compatibility:

From a PC to Mac to mobile phone, more people than ever are choosing and customising the way they view the web. Web standards ensure your site will look and function as it should no matter which platform, device or browser is being used to view it.
