Accessible Website Development

Viadesign is a Dorset based company specialising in accessible and standards compliant web design and development. We have expertise in a range of technologies - XHTML, CSS, MySQL, PHP, JavaScript and Flash, and a solid background in communications and visual and information design. This enables us to design engaging, interactive online materials for all platforms and devices. So, whether you intend to communicate via PC or a Macintosh, a web-enabled mobile phone or a PDA, a high resolution display or an interactive whiteboard, we will develop a product that best meets your needs and those of your customers. Perhaps you already have a site. Is it performing as it should? We can help.

An accessible website?

Accessibility is often partly misconstrued as meaning that a website is fully accessible if it is usable by people who have a disability like blindness, poor sight, colour-blindness, or some cognitive or other disability. Whilst accessibility does indeed mean inclusion of such web users, it also involves providing access to the growing body of users who are visiting sites via newer devices and browsers - PDAs, mobile phones etc.

eCommerce

We produce eCommerce sites and implement PayPal as part of the package if that's the way you prefer to receive payment. Alternatively, if your transactions exceed the PayPal limits, we will implement a merchant account.

Content Management

We can build you a content management system that will enable you to update your site simply from any web browser. Even when you add or update your own content we will make sure that the site is still standards-based and accessible, so that it performs as it should across different browsers and devices. Updating your site regularly is important; it reassures customers that your web presence is lively and vibrant, and helps boost your search engine rankings.

Hosting & Management

We can use your existing host if you have one, or host your site for you. Either way the process of creating your web presence will be seamless and trouble free.
