Website Design & Development

For almost ten years Bill has been designing, developing, and maintaining websites. His specialty is designing and redesigning sites using semantic and standards-compliant XHTML and CSS.

  • Design — designing websites that are simple, scalable, and usable.

  • Redesigns — improving existing sites and migrating them to semantic, standards-compliant XHTML/CSS.

  • Web Applications — developing web applications for intranets and websites using PHP, javascript, and XHTML/CSS.

  • Optimization — improving code structure and rich media to minimize download time and maintenance difficulty.

  • Content Creation — copyrighting and editing of existing content to make sites readable, usable, and compelling.

Why Web Standards?

Designing your site with web standards offers several important advantages.

  • Greater Accessibility — users with alternate browsing devices will be able to access your content. This includes screen readers, Braille browsers, and handheld devices (like PDAs and cell phones).

  • Search Placement — search engines will index your site more accurately.

  • Backward- and Forward-Compatability — standards-compliant sites will degrade gracefully in older browsers and will continue to work in new browsers and devices in the future.

  • Easier Maintenance — using web standards, your site can be maintained by any web professional or content creator. This allows you to remain flexible and avoids “locking-in” to a single designer/developer.

  • Faster Downloads — your site will load faster and require less bandwidth, saving you money on your hosting bill.
