Web Design, Mentainance & Developement

I make sure the sites I create compete with the world of web 2.0. The web is different today with alot of thing web designers have to follow. The frontend and design of the page is the least of what I pay attention to. From web compliant standard like valid css, html, and making sure the web pages are compliant with other web browsers.

  • The content: the substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.
  • The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.
  • The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.
  • The visibility: the site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.

    • To be accessible, web pages and sites must conform to certain accessibility principles. These can be grouped into the following main areas:

  • using semantic markup that provides a meaningful structure to the document (i.e. web page)
  • Semantic markup also refers to semantically organizing the web page structure and publishing web services description accordingly so that they can be recognized by other web services on different web pages. Standards for semantic web are set by IEEE
  • using a valid markup language that conforms to a published DTD or Schema
  • providing text equivalents for any non-text components (e.g. images, multimedia)
  • using hyperlinks that make sense when read out of context. (e.g. avoiding "Click Here.")
  • No use of frames

    • * using CSS rather than HTML Tables for layout.

    prices vary extremely depending on your design needs, and if yo will need maintenance for a while before maintaining it yourself.
