Top Cat Websites are based in Derby and specialise in simple and affordable, yet high quality, websites, mainly for individuals and small businesses.
With almost 20 years' experience in IT, mainly from a systems development perspective, numerous requests from friends and local businesses have prompted me to branch out into website design. My background has given me a good grounding in the discipline of writing lean, elegant code and adherence to the highest quality standards.
All of our Web pages are constructed using 'strict' XHTML with CSS. XHTML 1.0 is the latest standard and offers certain advantages over HTML 4.01 (the HTML standard that is most widely supported by browsers).
The strict syntax enables those using browsers for the visually impaired or aural screen readers to access your Web pages more easily.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is far better than HTML for adding style to a Web page and in fact the 'strict' structure does not allow HTML to be used for controlling style. A relatively small amount of CSS can have major effects on how pages are presented and is a better way to handle style across multiple pages.
If you do not already have a domain name, then we can register your chosen domain name for you and can set up a suitable hosting package with email.
Top Cat Websites will discuss your requirements and goals on a face-to-face basis, but equally this process can be done over the telephone or via email if you do not live locally. If you want funky resource-hungry graphics, animation, or a Flash intro then we are not the company for you. If you want a crisp, clear, easy-to-navigate, professional-looking website with judicious use of graphics, then contact us for a quote or preliminary chat.
