Web Design and Development

Codex's Web services cover a complete range, from simple static HTML content to dynamic data-driven websites.

Regardless of project size, our approach to Web development uses the same proven techniques used elsewhere in IT development - the software lifecycle and associated methodologies are as applicable to Web projects as they are to database and application development.

Usability and accessibility are fundamental elements in our Web design strategy. Poor design (resulting from inattention to performance, page layout, site structure/navigation, colour and metaphor issues) produces frustrated and unsympathetic viewers who are unlikely to make a return visit. We strive to incorporate established and emerging usability heuristics (HCI) for effective and accessible Web design.

Where applicable, we can provide added client-side functionality by the appropriate use of embedded plug-in content (including multimedia). We can advise on the bearing such content may have on usability, and the likely impact on audience share.

We provide dynamic Web content using popular Web server scripting languages and SQL database servers. Our approach to Web database development mirrors that used for conventional databases, with special emphasis given to performance and security issues.
