Services

Meridian Web offer a high quality web design service, delivering stylish, accessible and usable web sites, as well as offering accessibility and usability consulting.

Web Design

Meridian Web build and develop websites using web standards, which are attractive, accessible and easy to use. We pride ourseleves on giving value for money. You will not pay extra to get an accessible site. When websites are built correctly, accessibility and usability come naturally.

We use hand coded semantic XHTML for the site's structure, CSS for the presentation and DOM Scripting to add interactivity. Keeping these three elements separate is the basis for producing an accessible and usable website. The server-side code, for example, for handling forms and databases, is done using PHP.

If all this talk of web standards, accessibility and coding makes no sense, it will all be explained to you. Alternatively, see our resources section where these issues are discussed.

In addition, we can also arrange your web hosting and domain name purchasing, should you require it.

New Design Or Redesign?

Whether you need your existing website modernising or you require a new site built from scratch, Meridian Web can help. In either case, an attractive, accessible and usable website will help your business grow.

Modernising a website is an opportunity to make the code leaner and to use CSS for layout. This reduces the time taken for a site to load, thereby making for a better user experience. This also makes the site more accessible and search engine friendly.

Building a new website from the ground up allows you to incorporate modern accessibility features seamlessly.

Accessibility And Usability Consultancy

Meridian Web offer an accessibility and usability consultancy service. If you want to know how well your website complies with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) or whether it is optimised to give the best user experience, Meridian Web can help.

We can advise on making your site more accessible, allowing you to reach more visitors. Making your site more user friendly can encourage your visitors to stay longer and increase conversion rates.
