Web governing organizations, such as the W3C, define best practices and standards that should be used when building web sites to ensure maximum current and future compatibility. Out of Web Site! designs standards based web sites so that your web site is compliant with such industry standards.

CSS Web Design

One of the most important recommended guidelines is to build web sites using CSS based layout, instead of table-based layout. Using CSS, or cascading style sheets, to design a web site will make it much more compatible with devices now and into the future. For example, a CSS based web site is much easier to display on different types of devices such as cell phones and PDA’s.  Your web site will also be much more likely to display properly on future devices, not yet invented, that are designed to display CSS based layouts.

CSS web designs also have other advantages. A CSS based web site is much easier to update if you ever want to make a major design change in the future. The reason is that CSS designs separate the content portion of the web site, from the design portion of the site. So you can easily change the design to something completely different, without having to touch any of the content at all. This separation of design and content is what makes CSS web sites so powerful – you can  easily change the design or layout of a page depending on what device it is being viewed on (computer, cell phone, TV, etc).

XHTML

XHTML is basically a cleaned up version of HTML, and is now the recommended standard for building web sites. When we build our web site, each page will be checked against an XHTML validator to make sure it is in compliance with these standards.

Accessible Web Design

It is very important to design web sites that are accessible to users with various disabilities. We do our best to design each web page so that it is accessible to those with disabilities. We also review the accessibility guidelines periodically to keep on top of the latest recommendations.
