Building the website

website design

We have our sketched design, our sitemap, our content and the functionality decided for each page so we begin the build.

There are four parts to a website. The HTML (hyper text markup language) which is the structure of the page. CSS (cascading style sheets) which is the presentation of the page, Javascript which is the interactivity of the web page and the programming (such as PHP, ASP, APS.net etc) which is the functionality of the pages.

We ensure that the web page loads fast, the images are the right size. The text is semantically correct by using the correct HTML tags for each part of the content. i.e. The main heading of each page is called a heading one tag and is wrapped in the HTML:
<h1>Main Heading</h1>

We spilt up the design and piece it together so that it can be viewed on differing browsers. We also ensure that the code is accessible to all by ensuring that we follow guidelines from W3C.

We program in the Javascript interactivity and any behind the scenes programming that requires data capture.

Page after page we ensure that your site is built well and built so that search engines are ´fed´ the relevant text that will help your website in the search engines.

The site is now ready so we need to test its download speed, check the spelling, analyse how the search engine sees the site and tweak the site to get the best performance.
