Web Development
Development is an interactive process
We begin each project by gathering information from you, the client, about the needs and wants of your project. We then conduct detailed research and discovery in order to bring a thorough understanding of your industry and the people you are trying to reach. After brainstorming internally on creative direction, we then set about drafting flow charts for intuitive navigation and wireframes for logical layout. Each of these steps is then refined and approved by you before we move on. This is referred to as the information architecture of the website.
We believe the internet was created for everyone and apply the highest standards of accessibility to our designs
XHTML/CSS
We develop websites that strictly adhere to the web standards for accessibility as determined by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines allow us to build websites that are fully accessible to the majority of users on the web, regardless of the browser or computer platform being used. Web browsers have changed along with web technology and the requirements for accessibility have changed as well.
To address the growing needs for website accessibility, the Web Standards Project (WaSP) was formed to update the guidelines. These guidelines include the strict adherence to CSS and XHTML for fully accessible websites.
In addition to the guidelines established by the W3C and WaSP, we also adhere to the recommended guidelines established by the ADA for website design, which allows our sites to be accessible by those users who are blind or have visual disabilities.
Browser Testing
There are a variety of browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari) currently in use on multiple platforms (PC, Mac, Mobile Phones). Each browser and platform interprets the code for your website differently.
DBS>Interactive validates your website for W3C (web standards) compliance as well as testing the site in the most current versions of the popular. While it is impossible to develop code that is compatible with every version of every browser, our testing process ensures that your website will have the ability to be accessed and navigated by the majority of internet users on all platforms.
DBS>Interactive has a business-driven approach separating us from other web design companies. We realize that a website is a critical business tool, and no matter how good it looks there is not a one size fits all solution.
