Handwritten Custom Code
We won't use FrontPage, Dreamweaver, or a template to create your site. As professional programmers, we design your website from scratch using standards-compliant code, so that your website:
- looks great on all browsers and computers.
- appears higher in search results.
- is free of "junk code" clutter.
- meets the strictest formal code standards.
- downloads faster.
- is easier and faster to update.
Standards-Compliant XHTML 1.1
The coding language HTML was designed for a very different environment than today's internet. HTML became unwieldy through a decade of sloppy use and ad-hoc evolution. Streamlined modern browsers such as Firefox and Safari often cannot parse through this mess to display your website properly.
The World Wide Web Consortum (W3C) officially depricated HTML in favor of XHTML. Valid XHTML 1.1 webpages are able to function properly in new browsers such as Safari and remain compatible with older browsers.
We are committed to keeping up-to-date with the latest technology. In 2004, we re-coded all of our customers' websites to meet XHTML 1.1/CSS 2 standards. The website files became up to 75% smaller, resulting in faster download times and overall efficiency.
