Some questions you may have:
- How safe will the website be, what security features are included?
- Who will own the domain name, hosting, forms, and email accounts?
- What about the use of Flash on a website?
- Will the web design be optimised for search engines, and for surfing speed, and will it have statistics of people visiting my site?
- How do I pay for the website?
About us:
In 2004 Peter Reason started designing and building websites, using various Authoring Tools (web design software) and at times hand coding from scratch.
The web design professional market has had a real big problem in that just about all of the web design software does not create error free code and virtually all are unable to comply to the World Wide Web Consortium’s standard’s. In other words they aren’t W3C Standard’s compliant.
Wikipedia Encyclopedia says:
“…The World Wide Web Consortium, W3C, is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web….W3C was created to ensure compatibility and agreement among industry members in the adoption of new standards. Prior to its creation, incompatible versions of HTML were offered by different vendors, increasing the potential for inconsistency between web pages. The consortium was created to get all those vendors to agree on a set of core principles and components which would be supported by everyone….”
At the moment desktop web browsers are very tolerant to poor code, but in the near future that will change. The result will be that many websites won’t display properly, whereas all validated websites should be future proof.
Mobile phones are much more unforgiving and they can simply fail to display anything at all!
On top of this situation came the Disabilities Discrimination Act which put the emphasis onto web designers to make websites that are accessible to all users.
The W3C brought out the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG, which would ensure that people with disabilities would not be excluded from websites.
Peter has been appalled by the bad attitude in the web design forum’s, blogs and professional design companies to these issues and this has been the motivation of the launch of this fully accessible, Standard’s compliant website.
Since June 2009 he considered doing web design on a commercial basis and has worked tirelessly on the key areas of accessibility, future-proof code, mobile friendliness, optimisation with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), a suitable Content Management System and last but not least robust extra security.
Why did it take so long?
A lot of the this type of work is out of sight and ‘under the bonnet’ and is very time consuming. That is why so many professional web design companies just can’t be bothered with it all.
But don’t other companies claim that they do these things?
Yes, which is why we try to encourage people to actually check out the claims. This is why we offer the links to on-line validators – and you probably will be surprised by the results!

We are in the Cambridge Directory
We are genuinely interested in creating a website that you are happy with.
Legally a website should now be accessible to all and not discriminate against disabilities.
