Quality Web Design
Web design as an industry is completely unregulated and there are hundreds of outfits claiming to have the perfect solution. Many of these, including some large firms, simply do not follow best practices or adhere to industry standards. Having a beautiful web site does not mean it was beautifully constructed and the difference can be felt in search engine rank, page load time, browser compatibility, and upgrade ability. Regardless of who designs your new site, always demand quality:
- Custom and creative visual design - Don't settle for a boring design.
- Consistent look in all browsers - Make sure your site looks right on everyone's computer.
- Hand coded, W3C compliant XHTML/CSS - There are quality standards, does your site validate?
- Optimized for search engines - Want to actually be found on Google™? Design with that in mind.
Featured Web Site
Riverboat Days, Terrace BC
This was a complete design overhaul from a very outdated and mundane web site. The intent was to capture all the aspects of the 10 day local celebration, both cultural and modern. The design also had to be simple and robust enough to allow an in house editor to make updates. view site »
Choose a Style
You may notice that there are two menus on this site. The "Choose a Style" menu is just that, it takes this very same page and applies a different style or "skin" to it. It's a great way to showcase the power and flexibility of a well-coded XHTML/CSS web site, and also lets me have more fun with my site. This section will be continually growing with new designs. There is more info on this in the Technical section of the about page.
