As a sign of our continued improvements to services, from January 2007 all websites created by Dreamscape Design will adhere to the W3C XHTML and CSS standards. Standards compliance delivers cleaner, more accessible code. This will optimise accessibility to the website across different devices, systems and browsers, and will also lead to greater search engine performance..

Mobile Fantastic Ltd approached us after having an e-commerce website created by one of our competitors. Justin Williams felt that the Business section of the site did not meet his requirements, and after viewing our portfolio was keen to see how we could improve on it.

We combined a stylish contemporary design, with an animated flash banner, to grab the attention of the user, and to demonstrate visually the latest handsets on offer.

We also coded the site layout in pure CSS (cascading style sheets), which not only conforms to the W3C web standards, but also improves accessibility and search engine recognition.

We pride ourselves on our "value for money" approach and competitive prices, and now we have extended this to our domain name services.

As a provider of Complete Internet Solutions, it is our duty to not only provide "value for money" design and development, but also "value for money" domain name and hosting. A summary of our new prices can be found below, and no we have not gone mad, they really are that low !!

• .co.uk / .org.uk / .me.uk = £10.99 for 2 years
• .com / .net / .org / .biz / .info = £22.99 for 2 years

It has been brought to our attention that a number of web design companies are not being completely transparent about the services they provide. You could be spending a small fortune (or a large one) on a web solution for your business, only to find out that the back-end code is not actually owned by you.

We have recently been approached by a client who has spent a large amount of money on a new online shopping site, only to be told that the e-commerce system is in fact only being licensed to him. If he wants to host the website with another company, he will lose the license and will be unable to take the database, administration area, or back-end code with him. Obviously this poses huge potential problems, as he is now essentially being "Held to Ransom", and is unable to move hosts without losing the rights to the system.

In order to avoid these potential problems, we have included below a list of points that should be raised with your website design company before you sign any contracts:

1. Will the website use a "Bespoke" back-end system created solely for my company to meet my exact needs, or will you be adapting a previously developed software package?
2. Will I own the rights to the website, or will there be elements within the site that I will not own?
3. Will you still develop the system if I choose to host with another company?
4. If I am unhappy with your hosting services, will I be able to move the entire website (and back-end system) to another host?
5. If hosting with you is a requirement, what guarantees can you give me that I won't lose the system if your company goes bust?
6. If hosting with you is a requirement, what guarantees can you give me that there won't be an unreasonable increase in your hosting prices?
7. Is the domain name registered in my company's name, or in your name?
8. Will there be any ongoing costs, that have not already been mentioned?

It is important that you raise these points before entering into a contract, particularly if the web design company have not already mentioned these points to you. In a jargon-filled industry such as web design, transparency is essential in order to deliver the right package to the right client.
