diffuse - web design, web development, bespoke websites, web hosting and & search engine optimisation (SEO)

The website will be yours, so you should be happy with it. diffuse will design and develop the site to your specification, giving creative suggestions, but not implementing them unless you approve them. All sites we build are built to our client's specifications, after all, we want you to be delighted with the end product.

Websites are primarily programmed in a code called HTML; HTML code is set by a standards organisation, called the w3c. At diffuse, we write all HTML code ourselves, we do not use programs to do it for us. Because we know and carefully monitor what we're writing, we know that all code we write is compliant to the standards set by the w3c.

Non-compliant code can mean that the website will appear differently in different web browsers, meaning some potential customers will not see your site correctly. diffuse test every website we produce in several browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera, to ensure that your site looks the same in each browser. What's more, diffuse will also test your website on both a PC and a Mac, so you can be sure that what you see is what all potential customers are going to see too.

Did you know that you have a legal obligation to ensure that your website is accessible to everyone? The Disability Discrimination Act 1999 states that every service provider must make every effort not to make their service unreasonably difficult for a disabled person to use.

When building a website, diffuse ensure that they build in to a site the accessibility structure to allow a site to conform to the DDA 1999. This comes as standard, after all, if it's not built into your site, you could find yourself in court!

Analysts say that if a site takes too long to load people will leave the site, or not return. diffuse optimise all graphics and code for websites that we produce so that they load as quickly as possible, not leaving your customers frustrated as your site slowly loads.

Not resting on our laurels, we also ensure that we keep up-to-date with web practices and standards, adopting new standards and technology as quickly as possible. Many companies do not keep up with the latest standards, meaning when you need your site to be updated in the future, it's already a creaking structure that should really be replaced.

If your site can't be found on the search engines, then you're not going to increase sales... it's that simple. When building any website, diffuse ensure that the site is structurally optimised for search engines, and will make every effort to help you understand how to populate your site with content that will help your search engine ranking.

Wherever possible, we not only optimise our clients' sites structurally, but we also help with their web marketing campaigns. We understand though that not every client has the budget for this, so we help our clients run their own campaigns where necessary.
