Redesign, South Africa

A thorough redesign begins by casting away your existing site's inhibitions, and starting again; building a powerful design around existing company strategies.

We design sites using the latest next-generation HTML and cutting-edge presentation methods to create sites that are not only accessible and usable, but yield a powerful sense of branding.

All areas of User Experience are considered, and only the latest technologies selected:

• No Tables. Moving to such a forward-thinking model, using XHTML and CSS, means that our designs can perform up to five times faster than they did before. Which means you're also five fold over your competition. Everyone else still uses dozens of tables nested within one another for their layouts; an inelegant approach that has haunted web architects since the Internet began.
• Web Standards. Just as electrical appliances in a kitchen have international standards to adhere, the Internet also has specifications intended for websites; but 99.9% of sites today ignore them. Having a design that complies with web standards ensures that your website is future-proof and can be understood by anyone, regardless of their physical condition or the device they use.
• XHTML. Most websites have been built, and continue to be built, using standard HTML, a specification that has now become dated and obsolete. We create designs using the latest next-generation HTML, called XHTML, to make sure you're not being left behind. Put simply, XHTML ensures that your website will work as well in the future, as it does today.
• CSS. Cascading Style Sheets are largely viewed by designers as being all about style. So much so, that most design companies mistakenly use them purely to control fonts, their colour and size. We don't. Not only do we use CSS for style, but for what it's engineers intended it to do from the outset - page layout. This elegant technology allows us to decrease download times dramatically.
• WCAG Priority 3. To help aid the disabled, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines were created to describe how to make web content more widely available on traditional browsers, as well as other internet devices. Priority 3 is the highest and most stringent accessibility test devised by the W3C and the WAI, a test that we ensure your website passes every time.
• Section 508. Containing a similar set of guidelines to WCAG Priority 3, U.S. Section 508 is intended for governmental and federal state websites to adhere by law. Now internationally recognised, many institutions and companies require these additional guidelines out of the box. And, as usual, you're already covered.
