4. Content Management System Option Available
I give clients the option of having their website built with a content management system. That way clients can perform simple updates without having to hire someone on an hourly basis.

5. Reach a bigger audience
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Web Accessibility and w3c web standards form the cornerstones of sites. These fundamentals mean your website will reach the biggest possible audience and never let you down.

6. w3c web standards
All sites created are w3c web standards compliant. This ensures all your visitors see your website in exactly the same way regardless of the technology they’re using. W3C-compliance also improves SEO through clean code that search engines can better interpret.

HTML code is separated from styling through external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) making any future site-wide changes quicker and easier.

Being an industry standard, having a valid w3c website means your website is more future proof and will keep-up with technological advances — saving even more time and money.

w3c web standards compliance is the first step in SEO and accessibility.

Having a w3c web standards compliant website that is accessible to both search engines and people is the first step in successful SEO.

7. Web accessibility
Web accessibility is all about enabling more people to visit and use your site. Making your site accessible will open up valuable audiences, increase traffic, improve SEO, reduce maintenance costs and improve your image.

The advantages of making your site accessible

Making your site accessible will:

  • Maximise your site’s ranking with search engines
  • Maximise your content’s potential audience
  • Ensure compatibility with new technology
  • Ensure it’s ready for the future of the web
  • Minimise maintenance costs
  • Avoid discriminating against those with accessibility issues
  • Increase the usability of your site by everyone
  • Improve your image as someone who cares for their customers

New technology = New opportunities

People are increasingly accessing the internet in new ways. Non-traditional devices such as mobile phones, PDAs and WebTV are a rapidly growing market that forms a big part of the web’s future.

Your site must also function in technology designed for those with accessibility issues, such as screen readers, text-only browsers (e.g. Lynx) and screen magnifiers. People with accessibility issues (visual impairment, reduced mobility…) don’t want special treatment, just inclusion. They are valuable potential customers you really shouldn’t be overlooking.
