You might think that a web site is fine as long as it works in Microsoft Edge® when you load it on your home computer. If you have built a web site for images of your favourite socks, that might be fine (given that very few other people will ever venture there). However, most web sites are published so that anyone can visit them, using any browser or reader, on any connected device.

The internet has become far more diverse in the last decade since the rise of smartphones and tablets. It is a huge task to keep up with all of the devices connecting to the internet, not to mention the multitude of browsers, screen readers and other assistive devices available.

Any business web site, magazine site or blog publishing content, services or products for the public must consider all these design factors. Failure to consider these design elements runs the risk of alienating many potential customers who will go elsewhere and are unlikely to return to you.

At Redcentaur, we understand the challenges of designing web sites working on many devices and various browsers. We build progressive and responsive web sites that adapt to the viewing environment. You have an assurance that your web site will persist because we use the latest web standards and best practices.

The latest web standards, such as HTML 5, CSS 3 and ECMAscript, offer a choice of new technologies and simplified coding practices for modern browsers. These technologies, which we regularly use to assist our clients, can be used today and allow great potential for current web sites. We also use programming and design best practices to enhance a web site's longevity.

Accessibility

Accessibility is about making sure your site is usable by as many people as possible. It increases your potential market by benefiting every user of your web site, not only users with some form of disability.

Copywriting

Our copywriting service can take the pain out of publishing new content on your site. Not only do you have to write content but you also need to make it relevant to your audience and perform well in search engines. Copywriting will write relevant content for your audience that performs well in search results.

Email marketing

How you market your business to your customers is an often-overlooked business strategy. Successful email marketing is crucial for any online business and hard to achieve. Emails must match your brand, your web site design and your voice.

Photography

A picture paints a thousand words, and this is especially true for a web site. The images on your web site say a lot about your company or you as an individual. Having professional, well-composed, strong imagery on your web site is essential to portray the right tone for you and your web site.
