Web Design

We only work to high level recommended industry standards and it is worth bearing in mind that not all web developers work to these same standards.

The design process begins with the completion of a creative brief, which gives our designers a platform from which several distinctive templates can be generated.

Using recommended standards based techniques, means that our websites are, by default, search engine friendly. From a technical perspective the site would be designed using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The use of these standards based practices will ensure that the site is robust and forwards compatible working across most standards based Internet Browsers.
