Put your content in my pocket
A List Apart - Blog

Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave with Osama bin Laden, you know that Apple is selling an iPhone and that it’s a hit. Apple is well on its way to selling ten million mobile Internet devices by the end of 2008. Besides being a great phone, the iPhone also includes a sophisticated new Safari browser. This version is touted as “the most advanced web browser on a portable device” and from what I’ve seen, it deserves this accolade.

So what does this mean for you? Millions of visitors accessing your content on a small display with very high resolution. At some point in the near future, you’re going to want to take a look at your current site design to make sure that it looks good and works well on this new device and its Mobile Safari browser.

Here the list of online generators specifically for web 2.0 design: enjoy it!

Do you own, build, study or have an interest in web sites that goes beyond just surfing? Maybe you just like to keep up to date with new technologies and trends relating to web design and development.

If so, chances are good you’ve already stumbled across Vitaly Friedman’s The Web Developers Handbook. If you haven’t, the WDH is an absolute must-have bookmark. The site claims bookmarks to over 730 resources for web designers and developers across an impressive range of topics, all vetted and useful to practising designers and developers.

Nice design too - very Web 2.0.

I wanted to list on a one single page the most useful web-sites, which make the life of web designers easier. If you ask the old uncle Google where you can find proper web design-instruments he shows an infinite list, whereby “his” links aren’t actually that useful. At the same time really helpful pages aren’t shown at all…

Vitaly has the story on the Handbook and its development in this blog post.

Thanks Vitaly

Website Design

Our web sites win eyeballs.

We design, code and build accessible, robust and standards-compliant* web sites.

We’re proud that our one and only design rule is: if in doubt, leave it out.

And we work hard to ensure the web site you need is the one we build for you. We achieve this by using rigorous project management practices, a structured information discovery process, the latest industry-standard development tools and a strong collaborative relationship with each client.

Your business or organization will benefit by tapping our expertise and services in the following web site design and development areas:

• custom designed web sites
• web site redesigns, makeovers and upgrades
• self-managed web sites
• content management systems
• online shopping and e–commerce systems
• online services and applications
• online training and development systems

We are experienced in working with all types and sizes of businesses and organizations so we understand that when it comes to web development projects, everybody’s needs are different.

We strive to be a great business to do business with. The first step is to get in touch with us and tell us about your requirements and the results you want to achieve from your web site project.

* A note about standards-based design

We advocate strongly standards-based design as the way to go because it effectively future-proofs your investment in a web site against changes in - amongst other things - web designers and site inter-operability with ever-evolving web technologies like scripting languages, server systems, database and content management tools and so forth.

That way you’ll always be assured of an upgrade path for your site, so it’ll remain scalable and extendable.

More importantly, it shows you care for your visitors by ensuring their experience at your site is guaranteed to be wrinkle-free.
