Targeted to your audience

A website is only useful if people visit it. Identifying the type of people you wish to target is one of the first steps to take in designing a successful website. We can help you to identify the catgeories of site visitors you wish to attract.

Visually appealing and well-architected

We pride ourselves on creating visualling appealing yet straighforward and unfussy designs. Our ethos is "form follows function" and we feel that the design should always be subservient to the information that you wish to communicate.

With experience of developing websites from just a few pages to over ten thousand, cbrody.com will develop an appropriate information architecture that ensures that your visitors can find the information they want quickly and easily.

Easy to maintain

We can offer you a range of content management solutions to enable you to update your own site with a minimum of effort. You can be in control of your website's content without having to know HTML, CSS or Javascript.

cbrody.com sites are constructed so as to be easy to maintain by other web designers, should you decide to use another developer in future.

Optimised for best search result placement

Working in partnership with RaiseMyRank we offer a range of SEO services to improve your search engine rankings. These include research on keyword domains and text optimisation.

You can increase your hits by getting your site listed in web directories. We can get your site(s) into directories such as dmoz (used by Google, AOL, AllTheWeb, Teoma, Lycos, HotBot and Altavista), LookSmart and Yahoo! Paid-for listings, such as Google's AdWords and Yahoo's site submission programmes, are another cost-effective way to drive visitors to your site.

Accessible

Recent changes in UK law mean that companies can become a target for legal action if they don't provide equal access to disabled users. For website owners this primarily means making your site usable by blind and partially-sighted visitors. Apart from the benefit of making your site accessible to these users, some side benefits of a streamlined site include ease of maintenance, increased download speed and improved search engine placement.

Standards-compliant

All sites created by cbrody.com aim to comply with standards set out by the W3C, including the Web Accessibility Initiative. While this may not be important to the average site user, there are a number of advantages of coding to standards.

First of all, the site should render equally well in any current browser no matter which platform (Windows, Mac OS or *nix). By following standards your site will be easier to maintain and upgrade in future, and the use of well-structured, semantic (X)HTML and CSS means that the content and the rules for presenting the content are kept separate.

Additional benefits of a well-structured, semantically-coded site are better placement by some search engines and easier conversion of the site for display on mobile devices such as handheld computers and mobile phones.
