Professional Web Design and Development

There are many standards relating to the best way to create web pages and content. The W3C are responsible for ratifying the web standards. Without standards the internet would be a complete mess. Some would say it is now! The biggest challenge with any web site design is ensuring the pages on a site are displayed properly with any of the myriad of browsers now available. You may say you're not bothered if your web site isn't completely useable by the 20% of its visitors who don’t use Microsoft Internet Explorer, and in theory that’s fine. But just think of the commercial impact this simple decision can have on your business. Do you really want to turn away up to 20% of your customers, simply because they prefer to use a browser that works more closely with the W3C standards? Web designers and developers who only code for Internet Explorer are missing the point. It's quite possible to create web sites using the latest technologies such as CSS, XHTML, XML, that are perfectly cross browser compatible. And in addition to this the site will be W3C standards compliant.

Do you really want to turn away up to 20% of your customers?

At Futuresys we pride ourselves on making sure any web site we design is compliant with the standard to which the site has been created. It's not just a case of making sure the site works well in multiple browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. Legally the site must be accessible by those visitors with disabilities. By using defined web standards in the creation of your web site software such as screen readers, used by visitors with impaired eye sight, will work better because these programs are set up to make use of the agreed standards across the web. There is growing legal pressure to make sure the content of all commercial web sites is accessible to those with disabilities.

When the HTML tags are used correctly, it makes Search Engine Optimisation so much easier

From a commercial point of view, a great advantage of running a web site that has been built to W3C standards is that the underlying structure of the pages, down to the simplest level of HTML tags will be correct. When the HTML tags are used correctly, it makes Search Engine Optimisation so much easier.
