These have often been associated with bad marketing strategies and a lack of long-term support for customers, crucial in generating successful results from commercial use of the web. Against this background, we consider a statement of standards, and the commitment to stick to those standards, to be of prime importance. This page gives a brief outline of the sort of criteria we work to when creating a web site. As well as these specific criteria, see the customer care section for information about our general commitments to our business customers.
Sites meet various optimisation criteria to ensure speed of download.
Sites work fully in both major browsers and in all recent versions. Graphics and files conform fully to the customer requirement and to Internet performance and compatability issues, and are usable by the widest possible Internet audiences. All links work and link maintenance is a priority during site delivery and subsequent changes. Templates of files are readable, clear and concise, so that they can be replicated and understood, wherever possible. There are many copyright, contractual and legal issues surrounding the web design and web hosting process.
