Sam Mah:All websites by SHM are created using 100% CSS and XHTML to guarantee the same performance across all browsers. No table based layout!
I am one of the few Edmonton web designers who think SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is mandatory as a website designer. Furthermore I also think usability, |accessibility and browser compliance should be mandatory as well.
Most web designers in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and elsewhere don't even know what SEO is.
You may not know this; On-site SEO is a web designer’s responsibility.
If a website is not search engine visibility, you might be losing a lot of traffic every day. Just imagine, without search engine referrals, you are risking losing many potential customers to your competitors website!
To clients who are looking for a good website designer, I offer these benefits-added services for your website.
Your website will display and function properly on Internet Explorer 5.5, 6, 7, Opera, and Firefox.
Your website will boost your visitor conversion rate with a quickly-loading website.
Your website will gain good public relation benefits with accessibility and best design practices.
Your website will use less code to develop. Less code means less data to download on a user's browser. Result in save money on web hosting and bandwidth costs.
With your website, you just edit one file to change the appearance of a single element throughout your site.
Your website will pass W3C’s XHTML and CSS validation. If a website follows specifications, then your website is considered ‘Web Standards’ compliant and perfectly coded.
Websites that conform to Web Standards easily crawl by big 3 search engines (MSN, Yahoo and Google). Results in good relevant traffics and conversion rates.
If no thought is given at the developing stage on how people will find your website, then this result can only mean that the website is at the VERY BOTTOM of the search results. At SHM, I WILL take care of this issue for you.
I pride myself on producing high quality websites that meet technical standards and get results.
