Forwest Media produce high quality, standards-compliant web sites which are developed using a combination of XHTML, PHP and CSS.
From simple static sites to user-editable content management systems, Forwest Media can create a stylish and functional web site to suit your particular budget.
Accessible, usable and visually attractive
Our web sites are designed to be accessible to everyone, from those who access the internet with new devices such as a mobile phone or PDA, to those with a slow 'dial-up' connection or using an outdated internet browser.
We design web sites to be easy to use so that viewers can easily find what they need, and are presented with the information in a simple yet attractive and engaging style.
Designed to compliment your brand identity
A web site is now regarded as an essential tool within a company’s marketing strategy and it is important to ensure it maintains the company brand identity. Our sites are designed not only to compliment any existing literature and corporate branding, but also to reflect the target market of your specific product or service, whether for a large company or an individual user.
Web pages designed to be "search engine friendly"
Forwest Media are aware of how important it is for your web site to rank in as high a position as possible in the search engines – with this in mind, your site is optimised from the first stages of design to be search engine friendly, giving it the best possible chance of success in the search engines.
For more information about what we do and why, please view our page about search engine optimisation.
Designed to be standards-compliant
Every site produced by Forwest Media is checked for validation by the international standards organization, the World Wide Web Consortium using their mark-up validation service, and unless clients have specifically asked us to add code (such as some flash media or JavaScript which may not validate), all web sites will comply as valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Please view our article about the benefits of having a standards compliant web site to find out more.
