design and development

At Ridgeberry we believe design and development should work together in harmony, ensuring the best browser experience for both the web user and also to maintain a presence for the client.

Website design should be clean, functional and reflect the ethos and drive of your company. A website is an essential tool for large and small businesses alike and gives your customers the opportunity to find out more about you, your company and the products and services you offer.

Every site we build includes the standard SEO practices to ensure your site is found and optimized to stand out amongst your competitors. SEO is making sure that your website looks the best it can to the search engines. Search engines do not see websites the same as humans. They work out what the page is about, how important it is and how it links to other pages within the world wide web.

dynamic web content (co-pilot)

Database driven websites are best for larger sites where large amounts of information have to be stored and manipulated. An example would be an e-commerce site with many products.

A newer trend is to have a website that can be easily maintained and updated by the site owner. This is usually done by putting a content management system in place (CMS). These are a set of admin pages that allow the site owner to add and delete content to a database as required.

web standards and accessability (w3c)

All websites designed by Ridgeberry are validated by the W3C (http://www.w3.org/). This is your guarantee that your website is coded to the highest standards and free from mark-up coding errors and to the minimum standards for accessibility. More advanced usability for visually and mobility-impaired users can also be provided.
