Based on the Mornington Peninsula, MI WEB DESIGN specialise in designing and creating small business websites using WWW standards compliant XHTML and CSS code for optimum search engine indexing, generating maximum impact for your website and your business.

What are Web Standards and why are they important?

Website standards are important when you're considering website crawlers (spiders) - they are the only guidelines a search engine has for knowing where information resides on a website page. Developing your website with valid XHTML code enables search engines to pick up your content quickly, improving your search engine results and accessibility.

"The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), along with other groups and standards bodies, has established technologies for creating and interpreting web-based content. These technologies, which we call 'web standards', are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web. Designing and building with these standards simplifies and lowers the cost of production, while delivering websites that are accessible to more people and more types of Internet devices. Websites developed along these lines will continue to function correctly as traditional desktop browsers evolve, and as new Internet devices come to market." - Web Standards Group

mi web design create a website that:

It is important that your website looks good and appeals to your market, but more importantly that it can be found by your market. There is no point in having a great looking website, if no-one can find you - which is why we apply the following when designing your website:

  • WWW standards compliant by using XHTML/CSS code: XHTML code enables more browser compatible outcomes and is supportive of future technologies. This will enable the website to move forward with technology - hand-held mobile phones etc.

  • WWW standards validated: via The W3C Markup Validation Service

  • Generate website visits with improved search results: using all possible keywords (and combinations of these) listed within the meta-name and head section of the website to maximize search engine results. Keywords must be used in the title, headers and throughout the leading paragraphs of content in order to maximize search engine indexing.

  • Linked to and from other website's: helps to improve search engine results. Links from associated local businesses, information websites and local business directory websites are recommended.

  • Use navigatonal cues to allow the user to examine the website with ease: providing clear definition for the user to know ‘where they are’ at any given time, such as different coloured tabs for active pages and/or image cues. Pages will be titled to maximize search engine results, while also identifying to the user their position within the website.

  • Visually appealling to your particular target market.

  • Tested for browser compatibility: The website will be tested for browser compatibility to address any code or design issues and ensure the website is compatible for all browsers – Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape.
