Robots read websites

"Robots are watching. You must comply..."

Do you ever wonder why some sites perform better than others by loading quickly and ranking highly on search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN?

Most amateur website designers - and even some professionals - don't recognize the importance of designing in compliance with web standards. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed and continues to develop common protocols (standards) that promote the evolution and interoperability of the web.

Sites that are W3C Standards Compliant can be parsed (read) by electronic machines like assistive technology devices for the disabled and the robots, spiders and crawlers used by Google and other search sites. A site that can be read by the Googlebot has a much better chance of getting on Page One of Google than an improperly coded page.

Sites (like www.jelve.com) that are standards-compliant generally load very quickly and are authorized to display W3C icons.

"You must submit..."

After Jelve Design builds and launches one of our standards-compliant sites, we submit it to the major search engines and web directories on behalf of the site's owner. Third party search engine optimization (SEO) companies routinely charge hundreds of dollars to perform this service. We include SEO as an integral part of every project.

Website Development and Design

Jelve Design's main service is the creation of websites for small to medium-sized businesses and organizations. The publication of a website is the end result of a consultative process in which we work closely with clients to devise an appropriate internet strategy.

Whether you are launching a new website, upgrading an existing site or merely need a logo or banner ad, Jelve has the expertise to make your project a success.

Owner-updateable Websites - Most of our sites include an integrated Content Management System (CMS). CMS allows the site owner to make changes by logging in to a password-protected administration section of the website. No knowledge of HTML code is necessary to perform site updates. If you're savvy enough to send an email, you're savvy enough to edit your own website. Because updating is done right on the site, no special software is required.

Blog Publication - Blogs, or web logs, are easily updated online journals. Begun primarily as a way to share technical information, blogs have a become popular way for families, organizations and individuals to publish a wide variety of content. Jelve Design created, owns and operates Canada's most popular blogging resource site, BlogsCanada. Many businesses can profit by blogging. We can help you decide if yours is one of them.
Web Accessibility for the Disabled - People with disabilities, such as the blind and visually-impaired, use assistive technology devices to access the internet and get information from websites. Sites developed by Jelve Design meet or surpass all accessibility specifications. We also evaluate and perform remedial upgrades to existing websites to ensure accessibility.
