passed, 1 warning.

The two that I built a few years back also passed, no warnings, but unfortunately due to retirement these sites are not online to demonstrate.

Thing is, if I ever chose to do another online business and paid somebody to code the site, I would expect that code to be correct and conforming to w3c standards so there would be no browser distortion and the site would render correctly on all browsers.

Just because lots of others write sloppy code does that make it acceptable when the standards are easily accessible, online and FOC?

Fair enough. Webdesign has always been a mystery to me.

I had trouble getting this one to work in IE9.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://passionfazeley.co.uk/menus/&charset=(detect automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.3

Worked OK in FF 11.0 and Chrome v22

 

[Alan B'Stard]

This one validates

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...e=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.3

and is also very well done.

 

[KencoPlenco]

Darren - I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to find good businesses to work with.

With an attitude like that, I think you'll be lucky find anyone on here who will be happy to work with you. We may not all 'know' each other, but I would like to think majority of us are online friends. some of us are friends and neighbours offline. If you take the time to read other posts on the Forum, you will find that we all have disagreements between ourselves, but on the whole we get along.

Are you sure that your logo complies with the Trade Marks Act 1994?

The use of the Royal Arms and of Royal Devices, Emblems and Titles, or of Arms,
Devices, etc., which are so similar as to be calculated to deceive, in connection with
any trade or business, or to suggest that the person is employed by or supplies goods to
a Member of the Royal Family, is prohibited by the Trade Marks Act 1994, unless the
permission of the Member of the Royal Family concerned has been obtained.

The Lord Chamberlain’s Office will be pleased to provide guidance when it is unclear
as to whether the use of “Arms” etc., may give the impression that there is a Royal
connection.

I'm surprised to read some of the posts in this thread. How much effort do you guys actually put into your work and how experienced are you guys? The quality of work here is terrible and the prices reflect this.

Experienced.... hmm running the university SoC site back in the mid 90s. Datebase work since about 91, programming since 89. unix admin (various flavours) since 92. COBOL, C, C++, PASCAL, SQL, PHP, VisualBasic(3/4/5), IIS, Apache, Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla. Microsoft Certified Professional, Systems Engineer and Systems Developer. And and LCP too.
Next?

 

[Toble]

No i haven't tried that , if i am honest it would be beyond my skill set, i have used PHPBB2 and 3 and PHPNUKE in the past though.

Your website doesn't show anything better? Anything at all in fact, as a web developer you should really have knocked up a much better holding page that at least gives an example of what you do. A page that just says new site coming soon instills no confidence, you should keep the old site up until the new one is ready. Not having a website implies not having completed work you are proud of, a web development firm should always pride themselves on their own site at the very least.

And yes, I'm a web programmer too. I don't do commercial sites though, just database driven systems that happen to work online.

Oh come on J, holding pages are just that. What do you expect? Some sort of flash trailer? Um might work. showng previous sites. with whooshy michael bay noises. ooh i'll have to do that with mine, all bloody 16 of them.

 

[Toble]

Just out of curiosity have you tried building a custom CMS sysrtem?

I have, and while it is still under development, the bare bones form the major part of my Cash Cow.

 

[Toble]

I find it funny though that all you can rant about is the fact we have a landing page up while we're currently launching our new website when every one of the sites you're showcasing in your signature looks like it was done back in the 90's by a 10 year old.

Hmm. one big image with text under it. Yeah, we did that just after the <img> tag came in. I'm surprised you didn't use <hr>

I just expect a Web developer that calls other people's work crap to have a proven track record themselves, a website firm without a website doesn't seem right to me. That weboptic sites took under an hour to do, and they've admitted its been up for months because they are too busy. Saying the old sites didn't flow or whatever was said sounded to me like they aren't proud of their previous work. That's great if they can get business without one, but they'd not get any from me.

I wonder if anyone has time to explain why it is important for websites to pass these tests - from the point of view of a none tekki luddite type internet browsing typerpersonlike - seeing as the sites failing still seem to be online

I think he is just out to cause trouble, i did nothing to bring on this attack, my clients are happy there sites show and function fine, in fact the latest site RS-Auto has only been live for 11 days and already shows on page one of Google for me when the search term car valeting in Rugeley is used, and second page if you replace Rugeley with Stafford, to me that shows the hard work that has been put into his website, when i take a client on i always go the extra length to make sure they are more than happy i dont even take any money until the website is complete and the client is 100% happy.
With Web Optics attitude i would be very surprised if he is as busy as he says and not having a website when your web designer is just ridicules, i have re-designed my website a few times and not once as this resulted in my website being taken down, it is always built somewhere else.

Browsers are crap, coders are crap, when the two collide you get unexpected results. What you see on Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9 may not be what I see on Ubuntu using safari, if your site passes all the tests then its probable that we would see virtually (but not exactly) the same thing. Assuming the people wrote the browsers to follow the standards properly, which they rarely do.

Gotcha

So basically it enables a site to be multi lingual

So

What if a woman had invented the internet? would it all be simpler?

 

[tek-monkey]

It would be harder to find porn.

The main issue with the internet is its open, so anyone can make things. They don't all make them the same, which means we have great inventions that often can't talk to each other. Web standards try to address this, at least in part.

 

[Mikinton]

It would be harder to find porn.

Maybe not. Wouldn't it all be in one place - a sort of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' site.

Regarding browser standards, you give half a dozen software developers a spec to develop something of reasonable complexity and they'll all come back with something slightly different, all working better in certain situations. Having said that, it is the nearest thing I've seen in 35 years in ICT to a standard user interface.
