Cambridge Web Design

This website is a a personal blog designed to give helpful tips and tricks for modern website design and programming. I am based in Cambridge and am employed as a web developer. I have several years of web design experience in Cambridge and the local area.

Along the left you will see links to various aspects of web design, including HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Usability and Accessibility.

HTML + CSS

Some useful tips and tricks to producing web standards compliant code that will enable search engines and users alike to access your pages.

Scripting

Both server side (PHP) and client side (Javascript) provide their own benefits. There will be a useful code repository of problems that I have overcome

SEO

Search Engine Optimisation, the (some would say) dark art. Optimising is not as hard as might be expected. There are some useful tips but no tricks.

Usability

Ulitmately this refers to the user. Can they find what they are looking for, is your site easy to use, is it easy to navigate and memorable? The easier it is for users to do what they want, the better for you to achieve what you want.

Accessibility

The blind and partially sighted make up a large percentage of the UK, and indeed world, population. Web 2.0 encompasses the need for a web that is accessible to all. There are some protocols to follow for best coding practice, but these should be bread and butter for any web design company worth it's salt....
