Hand written Source Code

We meticulously hand write the languages we utilize to display our clients content. We do this to maintain the delicate balance between browsers, operating systems and search engines. This is best explained by saying; if an environment is too old or new, compliance and or performance in each can be affected. We custom tailor the languages we utilize to fit your web site content intuitively, which creates a lean, high performance, search engine friendly environment for your graphics and content to be displayed.

W3C HTML & XHTML validation

Most pages on the World Wide Web are written in computer languages (such as HTML, XHTML or CSS) that allow Web authors to structure text, add multimedia content, and specify what appearance or style the result should display. As with every language, each have their own grammar and vocabulary. Languages for all versions up to XHTML 1.1, are using machine-readable grammar called DTDs, a mechanism inherited from SGML. Every web document written with these computer languages are supposed to follow the rules and protocals designed for each. Most web development companies ignore these rules, costing their company valuable search engine viewers and performance. Each browser will attempt to interpet (make guesses) about these illegal constructs and each will display them differently. Even worse, if your source code is really pathological and using syntax produced from a WYSIWYG editor, the browser could get hopelessly confused, producing a mangled mess or even crashing the browser. More often than not, these editors produce excessive, outdated, & non-compliant proprietary code that hinders search engines from crawling your web site and directories. Our theory; maintain balance in all aspects of compliance; thus creating optimal performance for each type of media to be displayed. In other words; each piece of the puzzle counts for something and adds to the over all quality.

Griffin Graphics hand writes and validates our HTML, XHTML & CSS using the World Wide Web Consortiums validation applications. We build streamline, high performance & search engine compliant web sites that will perform reliably well into the future.

Optimized Website Design

We design all our web sites from the ground up with search engine compliance as a top priority! We show you the best practices for intuitive content writing that will enhance you website's ability to be crawled, cached and categorized. We utilize statistical data provide by Google that helps us assess what contextual or graphical changes will be necessary to greatly enhance your chances of reaching your targeted audience. It is no secret that the quality and amount of relevant content your web site provides, directly effects how your web site will be ranked. We provide the foundation for companies to be competitive in today's search engine marketplace.

Google registered sitemaps

We are a proud member of Google Webmaster Tools. This membership gives us access to an abundance of information and tools that help us keep up on the latest Google-friendly and general search engine techniques. One of the best tools we utilize is the Sitemap Protocol. This protocol allows us to inform search engines about URL's on your web sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap Protocol is an XML file that lists URL's for a web site. The protocol was written to be highly scalable so it can accommodate sites of any size. It also enables webmasters to include additional information about each URL (when it was last updated; how often it changes; how important it is in relation to other URL's in the site). This information enables search engines to intelligently crawl your web site. Webmaster Tools also shows us how Google views your web site, helping us diagnose problems, and lets us share information with Google to improve your site's visibility.

Google Analytics for demographics

Google Analytics helps you find out what keywords attract your most desirable prospects, what advertising copy pulled the most responses, and what landing pages and content make the most money for you. Google Analytics has all the features you'd expect from a high-end analytics offering. Google Analytics is easy to use for novice marketers, while delivering all of the capabilities that experienced web analytics professionals expect. Google takes the trust people place in them very seriously, and has pledged to safeguard the privacy of your corporate data. Google understands that web analytics data is sensitive information, so they accord it with an ironclad protection that it deserves.

Current cross browser compliance

We create web sites that comply with all current browsers used on PC & Mac, with minimal marginal variations in each.

Note: We do not cater to browsers that are more than two versions old (Example; IE 5, Netscape 7 and below). Catering to legacy browsers ends up creating excessive files (garbage) that the search engines have to sift through and categorize. It also creates longer page load times and is a security risk to the end user. The statistics on people using browsers more than two versions old is so minimal; it's not worth the time or your money to implement these contingencies.
