My Design Philosophy
In today's world of the so-called "Web 2.0 revolution" of content-rich and dynamic websites, the user is often bombarded with graphics, advertisements and other features that try to take their focus away from the website content.
However, it is becoming increasingly clear [1] that users prefer a simple website that gives them what they want with minimal effort. This is what I hope to provide.
Efficient
I prefer not to use any tools or aids to create websites, writing the code by hand in a text editor. While this process is often laborious, the end result is clean, efficient code that can be easily understood by search engines, and also easily maintained.
Standardised
All of my websites validate fully to the required XHTML and CSS standards set by the W3C. This aids accessibility, ensuring that the maximum number of users possible can view the finished website. User-dependant plug-ins such as Adobe Flash are also kept to a minimum for this reason.
Tested
In addition to validation, the code is fully tested in the latest versions of both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Together with validation to strict standards, this ensures seamless cross-compatibility between operating systems and browsers alike.
