Technology We Use
Philosophy
To use the most modern tools available to make your website beautiful, accessible, and standards compliant. This includes strategic use of Flash or Java as they require browser plug-ins, and a focus on the content and layout of the page. I believe technology well executed will be both stylish and easy to understand.
Web Technology
Most of the sites I've designed are based on PHP and MySQL due to the flexibility of existing tools, and the quick turnaround. Wordpress is a solution so simple, you can be blogging within minutes of having your site set up. A better content management system like Drupal or Joomla! usually works for many small businesses.
Standards Compliance & Accessibility
I run a battery of tests on your website to ensure that it complies with the major internet standards including Section 508, WCAG, and W3C guidelines. This means that anyone should be able to view and use your website from anywhere in the world. The new trend is to use cell phones and other small devices to go online. Keeping your website standards compliant will ensure that your website will work on technology that isn't invented yet.
Why These Issues Are Important
People should see your website. Using the best tools and technology can make your website faster and more interactive. Adhering to standards means your audience can see your website. Technology and Standards go hand in hand to create a website that loads quickly and communicates your message.
