Designing with Web Standards

Redman Design is committed to building websites using web standards, ensuring validation to W3C criteria and compliance to WAI guidelines for accessibility. It is no longer acceptable to develop websites with the emphasis purely on looks; they must look good and perform in a manner that is consistent across a range of operating systems and web browser software.

Building Websites for the Future

Modern web browsers display standards compliant code in a uniform manner. This means the website can be developed without the need to concentrate on specific code for individual browsers, or the worry of error-correction (which is usually the reason for inconsistencies between one browser and another).

Web standards compliant websites are guaranteed to perform as intended in future versions of web browser software. Redman Design recommends Mozilla Firefox.

Accessibility

Developing to web standards ensures a wider audience can access your website. As well as ensuring your website adheres to all priority 1, 2 & 3 Web Content Accessibility Guidlines, Redman Design incorporates features like shortcut keys, black and white text only versions and the ability to change text size on-screen. In addition, your website is tested on a range of web browsers including Lynx (a text only web browser).
