Bits & Bytes

Web Standards?
Web Standards are a set of guidelines that help ensure that everyone has access to the information being provided to them on the Web. It also allows developers to produce Web sites faster, more streamlined and enjoyable to use and build. Web standards allow people with special needs (such as blindness) using an audible-browser, or for someone using a handheld device to get the same information as everyone else.
For more information on Web Standards, visit the Web Standards Project, or the World Wide Web Consortium.

What Tools Do We Use Creating Web Sites?
We always look at what the best tools and solutions are for the job at hand. Quite often, those solutions include XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL, hosted by a Linux-based server.
All of our code is written by hand (using BBEdit and CSSEdit) and our graphics are created using a robust blend of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
