Website design
Speculate believes in building clean, clear and effective website designs that not only build your brand but rank well with the major search engines.
Our philosophy is that good design and good coding practices go hand in hand, so we specialise in designing websites that comply with web-standards.
Creating compliant websites
A web-standards compliant website simply means that the site has been built according to the guidelines specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Unfortunately many web designers rely solely on software packages such as Dreamweaver and don't have the skill (and knowledge) required to build a web-standards compliant website.
A web-standards design separates the look and style of your content from the content itself. This allows people using mobiles, PDAs and screen readers to easily navigate your website.
The benefits of having a web-standards compliant website include:
- Colour schemes can be changed by updating a view key values
- Pages on your website are smaller, meaning faster downloads and less business
- It will be accessible to all of your customers, including the estimated 480,000 of Australians that are vision impaired
- Search engines, including Google, rank web-standards websites higher than non-compliant websites
