Web Design and PHP Development Company Canada
To survive in today's competitive web marketplace, dominated by large companies with massive Design, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Pay Per Click (PPC) budgets you need to make sure your website is built properly from the group up while having an appealing design. So many factors go into organic web design, and organic search engine positioning that most web design companies in both Canada, and around the world use out dated design and development practices that can have very negative effects on your web presence.
Outdated, or depricated Web Design & Web Development practices can sabotage a websites true potential to organically rank right from the start. Our approach is to create a web design that matches, or exceeds the clients requirements; while also being designed for the search engines and target audience. We then take the Design which is created in Photoshop, and slice the template into a Search Engine Optimized (SEO) website.
After the Design and Slicing phases we then take the sliced images, and develop a Pure Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) Template from your design. Pure CSS templates allows you to maintain your website with less effort, and makes design changes much simpler to implement. The theory of CSS in a nutshell is by removing the design from the content, and placing it in a seperate file you can make design changes to your entire website, or small sections with very little effort because you need to only edit one file to make global changes to your appearance. The outdated techinque is called table based design, it has the disadvantage of having to duplicate every element of design, in every single file making your website much slower to load.
But the biggest advantage with CSS based templating is how Search Engine Optimized your HTML code becomes. By removing the design from every file, you also raise the content closer to the top of every page. Generally the higher you can get your content to the top of the document the better it will rank. This also reduces the ratio of content to markup, which is known to be in the major search engine algorithms. And finally your overall site can shrink in size drastically, making your site smaller for the engines to index easier.
