At Platform3 we pride ourselves in the production of HTML/CSS pages which adhere strictly to web standards. Our purely CSS-based design helps make sites lean, clean, accessible, usable and search engine friendly.

CSS

Style sheets (CSS) can give you fantastic control over the visual appearance of web pages, allowing you to achieve the most stringent accessibility criteria. By following standards, developers can create virtually any visual design while retaining the site's accessibility and legibility. What's more, designs created using valid CSS alone work in all modern browsers and on all platforms - and will continue to work in future browsers, including mobile devices.

XHTML

Good, semantically correct mark-up is structured and concise enabling assistive technologies to interpret the site much more efficiently for disabled surfers. And makes both design and content changes simpler and faster.

We use a plain-text editor and hand code our XHTML and CSS in combination with a number of validators both online and built-in to our text editor. This means we are guaranteed to have valid mark-up (visual HTML editors often add redundant code and improperly nested tags).
