The difference between an average website and a great website isn't always what you can see on the page. The HTML code used to write your website can be equally as important to get right. As part of our Website Compliance service, we'll ensure that your code is up to scratch, allowing you to reap the full benefits that come along with the responsibility of keeping code compliant.
Please note, if you wish us to perform our Website Compliance service to your website, you will need to give us full FTP access to your website. If you do not have this access, you will need to speak to your current website agency.
Valid XHTML Code
In compliance with World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Standards, we write all our websites using the current XHTML 1.0 Transitional standard. In reality, this means that the HTML code is totally valid across all browsers and mobile devices. This has the positive effect of ensuring that your website will get understood by all the major browsers. Having valid code can also:
- Help your site download faster
- Improve your search engine position
- Reach a wider audience and increase exposure/sales
- Reduce future maintenance time and problems
Browser Compatibility
An unfortunate fact about Internet Browsers is that they don't always show websites the same way. You may have noticed your existing website looks different in Firefox than Internet Explorer? While this can be a problem, if coded correctly, your website will look exactly the same in every major browser. We take great lengths to ensure that all our work can be viewed the same in: Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome.
Website Accessibility
In the United Kingdom, 8.6 million people are registered as disabled. That percentage could be 15% of your target audience. Having a website which isn't coded with accessibility in mind may impede their access to your site. Without your website being set up for screen readers (programs that read the content aloud) or people with other sight problems, your website can become a headache for these users. We can make sure that your website will be easy to use, and ensure that you don't accidently neglect users with certain needs.

- Current standard of website
- Number of pages
- Level of complexity in design
Please keep in mind that we aren't offering this service to make easy money - Website Compliance has been proven to have a positive effect on your website. Without them in place, you could be isolating people with disabilities, or with certain Internet Browsers.
