The best way to develop a web site is to separate the content from the display of that content. This allows for the most flexibility.
Websites use cascading style sheets to position objects and style the type on a page. In this manner, the information can look good on a variety of devices – including handheld ones.
In order to do this it is neccessary to move away from building table-based, bloated html pages using programs like those odd web page building interfaces some hosting companies offer in their “control panels”.
Think of your site as a container for presenting content that can be kept fresh and change based on your own and your visitor’s input.
In this section are examples of projects where this is always the goal.

Please Add This Poster To My Website
Many of our customers update their websites themselves, and for some clients, we fulfill an ongoing webmaster role. From time to time we get requests to add new content to a customer’s website.
We are always happy and quick to do so, but sometimes we find the request does not take into account all aspects of how website additions work best both for human visitors and for Google.
Which leads us to the often received “Please Add This Poster To My Website” request! […]

Website For Nationally Syndicated Cartoonist
From looking over cartoonist Randy Glasbergen’s current site, we could see he had been maintaining a flat page site and was finding it difficult to make any global changes to it. (For example, adding a navigation that shows all the links on every page). We thought his site would be a good candidate for Dashboard-enabled[…]
