Ranking Flash
Thinking about having your website created in Flash? If you're trying to optimize your search engine rankings you may want to think again.
Search engines, such as Google & Yahoo, can not read flash documents, making it harder for your site to acheive good rankings. As a result, we always minimize the use of Flash and only use the best search engine optimization techniques when writing your web page's code.

Is Your Website Ready for Mobile Browsing?
The iPhone has finally given us the internet in the palm of our hands, as users can now get a rich internet browsing experience through their phone. If you haven't played with one yet, you should stop by your local Apple store and check out the future of the web. It is a truly amazing experience, and Apple has already sold well over a million iPhones in a matter of months. This marks the beginning of a trend that is here to stay, and mobile browsing is only going to get more common.
So, what does this mean for your website? It means that it has to be coded in a manner that will display properly on mobile phones. Even if your website looks fine on a PC, it may not function well on a mobile phone, unless certain guidelines are followed. A few of the guidelines are listed below:
- No Flash: Mobile browsers can not display flash. So, if your website is built in flash, users won't even be able to see it!
- W3C standards: It's very important to create valid XHTML & CSS for your website. Although programmers can get away with sloppy coding for PC browsers, your website's engine must be finely tuned to display properly on mobile phones.
- Avoid Scrolling Divs: Some elements still don't display well on mobile phones, and the scrolling div is one of them.
- Loading times: Although mobile browsing speeds have increased drastically they are still slower than PC speeds, making it necessary to keep the size of your website to a minimum.
Those are just a few of the guidelines that we go by when creating your website. Contact us to learn more about our techniques and see how we keep your website in tune for the mobile phenomenon.
