Ringwood Internet have been providing websites since 2008.

In the early days on the internet there were no web standards. Few browsers could render CSS correctly — if at all. Now times have changed!

Info for techies:

All our new websites validate as XHTML 1.1 Strict and CSS2. And because they're semantically correctly they naturally perform well on accessibility tests. Importantly, we display important content first (before menu navigation) which also helps deliver relevant content to search engines.

Non techies:

We use the latest technology and web standards to design our websites. Design is completely separate from content. That means we can make a website look completely different without touching the content.

Below is a list of some recent websites we have provided.

Brochure Type Websites

www.corfecastleholidays.com

Corfe Castle Holidays provide self catering holiday cottages in Corfe Castle , Dorset . This website was initially based on their brochure.

It's a database driven website so the cottage summary page is an extraction of the full cottage listing — no duplicate content.

The cottage images use a JQuery library for the slide show transition effect. No need to render a Flash animation. We just used CSS placeholders, so images are available if Javascript is disabled.

When clicking &lquo;prices&rquo; from a cottage listing, the price row is automatically highlighted to assist the user.

Summary

• Accepts online bookings
• Enquiry form with inline error messages and preserved input
• Semantically correct mark-up
• The site validates as XHTML Strict & CSS2
• Appears top of Google on many relevant searches including &lquo;corfe castle cottages&rquo;

www.kloben.co.uk

Kloben are the UKs leading Solar Manufacturer. Their website is based on their PDF brochure. We didn't have access to the original artwork so had to do some clever things with Photoshop.

We made use of many rare XHTML characters to display technical symbols as seen in the table below:

Minimum working pressure	-20ºc
Maximum working pressure	+120ºc (6 bar) / +100ºc (10 bar)
Maximum pump flow rate	2 m³/h
Attachments	∅ 18 mm with fitting to tighten

Summary

• Every page XHTML Strict 1.1 & CSS Validated (an achievement for a technical website)
• Design completely separate from content
• External links & links to PDFs marked with appropriate icon for userbility

Content Management Websites (CMS)

The following sites can to a varying degree be edited by the site owners.

www.christchurchgundogclub.co.uk

Christchurch Gundog Club wanted a website to keep existing members up to date with news, events and special offers. They also wanted the website to attract new members.

We provided a webstandards website with a content management facility. We used PayPal to enable visitors to join online — there and then. We configured PayPal to renew membership automatically which reduces administration for Christchurch Gundog Club.

Summary

• Content Management System (CMS)
• Attract new members; accept membership
• Accept credit/debit card payments online
• Automated backend processing for automated membership renewals
• Top of Google on their website services
• WYSIWYG CMS editor

www.pegasusmarineuk.com

Pegasus Marine offer solutions and coordination for construction and repair of marine craft and marine-based structures.

We were given a Photoshop (PSD) design and converted this into XHTML Strict 1.1 (.PSD to XHTML). We provided our own bespoke website content management system.

Summary

• Full bespoke Content Management System (CMS) — Upload images, add new pages — top level and sublevel navigation
• Top of Google on a search for their company name
• Latest web standards
• (.PSD to XHTML)
• WYSIWYG CMS editor

www.taylormadedesigns.co.uk

For 4 years we have provided Taylor Made Designs with their main website, in addition to their Sage integrated B2B backend online ordering facility.

Their site has undergone a recent upgrade. It now has more meaningful URLs for search engines. It has well formed XHTML & CSS instead of a semantically incorrect, but robust, table based design. This reduces overheads and ultimately makes the site load faster.

The improved CMS allows the image filenames and directory structure to be individually specified at each level, along with image captions and ALT text. This gives them more meaning for search engines and screen readers.

Technical note: Instead of using a resource intensive recursive method (The Adjacency List Model) for the image directory tree, we tried The Nested Set Model. As no recursion is used this makes the script more efficient and the site load faster!

Summary

• Full bespoke Content Management System (CMS) — Upload multiple images per page
• Search engine friendly URLS
• Search engine friendly and descriptive image directory structure, filenames, and captions — all specified by the site owner
• (.PSD to XHTML)
• Nested Set Model data hierarchy - efficient technology
• WYSIWYG CMS editor
