Web standards - web accessibility and compliance

We design and build websites to the highest national (UK) and international standards, for accessibility, usability and legibility. Not only does this mean that your website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of their browser, software, operating system, or ability. But it also means that you're covered legally: compliant with UK legislation such as the DDA Act (Disability Discrimination Act) and Companies House.

W3CThe World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

W3C is the international governing body for the web.

Their independent, not for profit organization, set the markup standards for every page you view on the web. Every page we produce is tested and approved by the W3C validator.

Web compatibility and testing

Before we launch a web project, we test it on PCs and Macs. We check it on all major browsers: Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, FireFox, Safari (including iPhone and iPod touch), Flock, Shiira, Camino and Mozilla. Only when it has passed all these tests does it go live.

Web Accessibility

Accessibility is about making your web site available to the widest possible audience no matter what their browser, device, connection speed or their particular disability. Having an accessible website is crucial, inaccessible websites can lead to loss of customers and poor search engine performance. 939 Design build web sites with xhtml and CSS code that adheres to web standards, making the most of the latest browser enhancements.

Usability

We use a simple checklist of usability points that we test every site against to ensure that usability does not get neglected during a development project. Jakob Neilsen (the world-renowned usability guru) showed us that you only need to test five people in order to catch 85% of problems.
