Semantic Search

2008-03-15T11:48:00.003Z

Yahoo has announced it is to adopt key standards of the "semantic web", (as featured in BBC News). This is great news for all web users because a good semantic search should bring more relevance to web page results since the semantic mark-up tells the search engine a lot about the nature and content of a particular web page. Surely this is the future for all search engines, to rely less on links and more on specific content relevance leading to a much richer search experience. 939 Design are into their third year of delivering standards based and valid css websites with semantic mark-up. Everyone catches on to good web practices eventually, even Yahoo!

iPhone iTouch Safari Browser

2007-11-12T14:15:00.000Z

First I need to say that this post is not more hype about Apple and the iPhone and iPod touch,
although they are both incredible gadgets.

As a web designer developer who specialises is css, accessibility and cross-bowser compatibility, its important for me to test websites on as many different browsers and platforms as is possible - this being just the latest and the greatest!

With Apple’s Safari browser built in the whole website viewing experience is not like other mobile devices but much more akin to using you laptop. The rendering is fantastic and with no real difference to Safari on a normal Mac apart from the absence of the flash plug in. Which is another good reason not to use much flash on a website and certainly not for navigation!
I'm pleased to report that all websites built by 939 Design perform and display as they should and do in the Safari browser.

iGoogle - Do you?

2007-11-07T13:52:00.001Z

How good is iGoogle? Well pretty good is the answer. If you've not heard of this, it's a personal Google page that is editable to contain whatever you want in the form of feeds from other web sources. A really useful tool - a good way of keeping track of all the things you are interested in.

Google Pagerank Update (Official 2007)

2007-10-28T20:41:00.000Z

Hooray! It's finally happened. We've been waiting so long and it's here...

..as suspected all the websites we've built over the last year or two have been ranked pretty good (between PR5 and PR6 for index pages and PR3 - Pr4 for interior pages - depending on the nature of the website and the popularity of the pages.)

This makes us happy, obviously, because it re-enforces that the way we build websites is good*

Adopting standards based design and neat CSS is the future!

(Any body who doesn't get that last statement, please email me so I can set you on the straight and narrow.)

That said, too much emphasis can be placed on Google Page Rank. Your sites will still be indexed, appear in searches, get found for Pete's sake (who ever Pete is!) It's not the end of he world, just the beginning.

*Google Page Rank does not discriminate between good CSS websites and and table-based layouts - sacrilegious I know. Please no emails on this subject or I will have to kill you.

Finding yourself - on Google!

2007-10-25T09:53:00.000Z

Website Awards

2007-10-09T19:13:00.001Z

The Alan Johnson (built by 939 Design Limited) website has been nominated as a finalist in the British Computer Society MP Website Awards 2007

Because IT is now integral to successful parliamentary communication and public engagement, the British Computer Society (BCS), as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, is awarding the best MP websites in three categories:

- Design
- Engagement
- Accessibility

There will also be an award for the website selected as overall winner and which is considered to integrate the very best of all three categories.

Judging of all MP Websites was undertaken by the BCS and key political journalists including Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail, Patrick Wintour of the Guardian, Michael Kallenbach of UK Press Gazette and - to ensure broad appeal to all ages - Matthew Darroch Thompson (aka Webster) of The Oldie. And because accessibility is vital in engaging people with disabilities, all sites were also appraised by AbilityNet, the national charity that helps disabled adults and children use computers and the internet by adapting and adjusting their technology.

Judges looked for MP's websites that successfully engage and excite, yet usefully inform with honourable purpose. In addition, judging criteria took into account ease of navigation, accessibility and effective use of modern media techniques such as blogs, pod or video casts and instant messaging.

Fingers crossed!

SEO for CSS Design Yorkshire

2007-10-08T10:41:00.000Z

The CSS Design Yorkshire website has never had any specific SEO work carried out since inception. It was built to the usual web standards using proper title and alt tags and all the rest of those good practice web development tricks but never received the special SEO treatment, mainly due to time constrains. That said, the results are quite encouraging! Perhaps it's time to weave some SEO 'black magic'?

Led Zeppelin confirm reunion

2007-09-12T18:05:00.000Z

Anyone else having trouble registering for the ballot for Led Zepplin reunion concert tickets?
Multiple sources are reporting that tickets can be purchased for a one time reunion concert (with Jason Bohnam taking his father's place on the drums) in London for the 26th of November, and that ticket purchases will be limited to lotto winners (due to high demand) who register at
www.ahmettribute.com

Can't help feeling dissappointed that there's about as much chance of me performing on stage with Led Zepp as actually getting a ticket for the gig! This will be the most over-subscribed lottery ever.
