CSS-based layout

It's the most up to date method for flexibly and accessbly coding the layout for web pages. CSS-based layout is a very specific skill requiring great attention to detail and a knowledge of multiple platforms and browser types, to ensure maximum usability. We have dedicated hundreds of hours to fine-tuning our CSS knowledge and learning obscure browser hacks. We have also taught CSS at Montgomery College.

We can take your design composite and turn this into usable, efficient code. We can also assist with existing sites, tweaking code to fix any emerging problems. Examples of our CSS work:

• Shakespearinamericanlife.org (front end design by Swim Design)
• Shakespeare for Kids (front end design by Swim Design)
• Montgomery County Conservation Corps (front end design by Leslie Oakey)
• Voice of America Chinese News, Persian News, English News (on contract to Digital Division)
• Fernwood Designs (front end design by Francine d'Antuono)

Examples of special features:

• Multiple layer navigation system in Shakespeare in American Life
• Color coding of rollovers in Shakespeare for kids – modularizing this for easy maintenance of Folger staff
• Pixel-by-pixel required accuracy for Voice of American pages in English, Farsi, and Chinese
• Right-to-left CSS coding for Farsi pages
