Expertise
When developing web sites, Web Overhauls focuses on Web Usability, Standards, and Accessibility. These practices have some degree of crossover, mostly because each leads to the same objective—the productivity and satisfaction of the user, your customer.
Usability, Standards, and Accessibility
Usability can be defined as a measure of how easily a product or service can be used. Usability compares the needs or expectations of a user and the product or service being used.
Web Standards is not a specifically defined term, but basically it comes down to two main practices in web development:
- Adhering to the world's standards and guidelines set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
- Separating content from design from behavior with XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Accessibility means that all content of a web page is available to any user with any browser or platform. More specifically, this means that people can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web page.
