Web design for you
A Dark Art web design is a bespoke one-off solution for your business. Our designs are unique and written from the ground-up
utilising the latest web standards. Each design meets a minimum of level A accessibility and is built with search engine optimisation (SEO)
and the user-experience in mind.
We are not afraid to use upcoming standards such as HTML 5 and CSS 3 - Our designs gracefully downgrade for those older browsers that
do not offer support for these technologies - In fact, our website designs are compatible with all the latest, up-to-date browsers including
Internet Explorer version 7 and above and we still support Internet Explorer version 6 should this be required.
HTML from a Photoshop original for you
Have a design, but don't have the time or the know-how to create a finished website form it?
At Dark Art Design we understand that many designers just want to design and don't necessarily need to be bogged-down with
technical details.
As designers ourselves we understand the necessity of transferring the original design concept faithfully to the browser
and treat each design as if it were our own!
Original design from wireframes for you
Having worked in large teams on major web projects creating web designs based on wireframes has become second nature – Show Dark Art
Design your original wireframes and we will create attractive visuals based upon them subsequently producing semantically-correct html for
you to work with.
Web accessibility and Usability for you
As a business why operate a website? Usually the answer is to generate more business, so why do many businesses ignore hundreds maybe
even thousands of prospective customers? Yet that is exactly what many businesses do each year because in most cases they
aren't even aware that some people may face problems using their websites!
There are many issues that should be considered when designing a website to be used by the widest possible audience. From the colours of
the design to the use of plain language, to the use of units of measurement that can be scaled, Dark Art Design are familiar with best practice
when it comes to accessibility and build all our websites to meet at least Level A compatibility.
Our services don't end with designing new websites – we can retroactively take your existing site and make it more
accessible for all your prospective customers.
We recommend considering all potential visitors to your site whether they be customers or blind web spiders like the Googlebot.
Did you know, good accessibility leads to good usability? With good usability everyone is a winner.
