Collaborative Development
Because of the restrictions that proprietary languages and systems place on developers, we choose to utilize open-source products in our development projects.
Open-Source products offer many benefits including free licensing, enhanced security, and ownership of the code we create. This means that any code we develop for you is yours to take, should you ever feel the need to change vendors.
Content Management Systems
Content management systems allow for staff inside your organization to manage and edit your website without having to possess any web development experience of their own. Through a simple dashboard accessed from the backend of your website, we allow you to edit content, upload images, add pages, and perform a wide variety of other basic website functions. Any change to your website that you do not feel comfortable making, simply fill out a electronic ticket or contact your account executive, and we will have your change made in 24 hours.
We have a great amount of experience working with a wide variety of content management systems. We are highly regarded for our expertise with both WordPress & Drupal, and have created many resources to help give back to the open-source community. As one of the leading WordPress and Drupal developers in Kentucky, we are fully capable of customizing a content management system to your specific requirements.
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. Adhering to W3C standards will make your website accessible to the widest possible audience.
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. Additionally, we 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.
