Welcome to MinuteDesigns, a small but brilliant company located near Alfreton - Derby - Derbyshire, who are specialists in valid, css, xhtml website design and media that cuts out the bloat. We also pride ourselves on our Search Engine Friendly web design!

How many peoples website have you seen that pay too much attention to the bells and whistles and not enough to their usability and content?

Too many sites put their emphasis on flashy little tricks and smooth animatons when they should be concerned with the real content. After all it’s what visitors go there for in the first place. This attitude needs to change, how many of you are actually put off from reading the text because of the “flashy crap” flying about everywhere putting you off?

At MinuteDesigns we create crisp, modern and functional web sites by sticking to one golden rule: Keep it simple. And no, simple does not mean ugly, dated or mundane.

Don’t be left out!

MinuteDesigns believes in accessibility and standards compliance. That means that a site by us can be viewed by a larger percentage of the public on a wider range of browsers and devices. Don’t be left out again.

The standards set out by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have been set in an effort to bring a modicum of standardisation to the internet. By complying to these standards where ever practical and possible MinuteDesigns aims to produce web sites that break the browser barrier.

MinuteDesigns also strives to maintain the highest possible levels of accessibility. This means that our sites can be viewed successfully with images turned off, text size increased and even with all style information removed. Text readers and screen readers are thought of at every step throughout the development of a MinuteDesigns site.

XHTML & CSS has many advantages such as:

• Cleaner Code: Adherence to strict guidelines results in cleaner code. All extraneous or ambiguous elements are eliminated, so pages are smaller, load faster, and render correctly.
• Interoperability and Accessibility: XHTML is currently readable by the greatest number of browsers, devices and assistive technologies like screen readers. Accessibility is quickly becoming a legal issue.
• Search Engine Friendly Code: XHTML produces pages that search engine spiders find easy to understand. There are no presentational elements or bloated code to confuse the spiders, so they’ll crawl everything that matters and rank you accordingly.
• Design Consistency: With CSS, the same style elements can be applied to every page of a site. From the first page forward, your visitors will be presented with a consistent design scheme, building their comfort level and effectively promoting your brand.
• Easy Maintenance: Changes to CSS web page designs are simple. Instead of having to go back and alter every single page of your site, with CSS only the relevant style sheets have to be updated, saving you hours of work and limiting the introduction of possible errors.
