The way we work
- We are committed to making all our sites accessible and usable.
- Clean code: we apply the latest standards of good practise.
- Good design: we believe a well designed site is one that looks good and is easy to use.
- Browser testing: We make sure your website works well in all the latest browsers and degrades gracefully in the older ones. We test on both Mac and PC platforms.
- We prefer to provide you with a Content management system so you can update your own website in the future.
- We are happy to work remotely, in fact we have never met some of our clients and it has not been a problem for them or us. However if you live nearby - it would be lovely to meet you.
- There are only two of us, we don't eat much nor do we have a fancy office - so we keep our prices low.
