      Information Design Ease of use is paramount in Information Design. This means making the message clear and ensuring the right form of navigation is in place to bring the audience there. User Interface Design Whether it's an entire online community or a simple marketing 'business card', people should be able to use it without having to learn it. The goal is to build an appropriate interface that is intuitive and inclusive. Standards & Accessibility All new sites are coded to W3C standards: XHTML and CSS for lightweight and maintenance friendly systems. DDA compliance is also ensured for people with disabilities to access all content. UK law now requires that all sites are accessible, regardless of disablility. Online Identity Although most clients may already have logos and other identifying trademarks, they can be tailored specifically for online presentation and consumption.
